This August, Eximius Group held their first work experience programme from its London office. The programme was developed as part of an extended invitation resulting from Eximius Group’s participation in HSBC’s Global Community Partnership Day earlier this year.
10 work experience placements were offered to Holy Cross Catholic Girl’s School who participated in the Community Partnership Day and a further 8 were offered to a local school – Hurlingham and Chelsea. Each student attended a week’s work experience within Eximius Group and worked within each of sector of the company. The experience enabled them to gain exposure to working in an office situation as well as developing key business skills such as; communicating within a professional environment via email and the telephone, writing skills, database skills, research skills and creative skills.
The students were given daily timetables outlining which area of the company they would be working with and what tasks they would be given. They also had a CV writing and interview workshop, took part in candidate meetings and were given project work to complete. The students were paid expenses (travel and lunch) to attend for the week.
The work experience programme ensured that the students grasped valuable office related skills as well as providing them with essential career advice for the future. Nick Stevens Group CEO commented that the work placement week was a learning experience for everyone;
“the work experience students brought a dynamic contribution to the Eximius office. The input, standard of work and the dedication of the participants was very impressive. We thank HSBC for giving us the opportunity to work with such talented young people and I have absolute faith that every one of them will go on to have outstanding careers. We wish them all the best for the future.”

What did you enjoy the most in your work experience week?
Talking to people on the phone. it really gave me the confidence of talking to people and improved my communication skills.
I enjoyed switching between several jobs during the week as this allowed me to do different things.
Researching destinations and phone calls, also the friendly atmosphere of the office.

Thank you to everyone! I had an amazing week. Hope to do it again and I wish I could stay longer. Thanks!
I am glad I chose to take time and do work experience with Eximius as I learnt basic and complex things based around work and business. Thank you for the opportunity.
It really helped and I found it really useful seeing ins and outs of a business like Eximius, really successful!
Thank you for allowing me to come and experience the work life at Eximius I have thoroughly enjoyed it :)
