More Awards


JACKIE PHILLIPS FLOWERS TO RECEIVE SPECIAL PLATINUM PROVIDER AWARDS FOR QUALITY OF THEIR WORK EXPERIENCE PLACEMENTS FOR YOUNG PEOPLE IN CORNWALL

Introduced by the Cornwall Education Business Partnership, working with RAF St Mawgan and Devon and Cornwall Constabulary, the Platinum Provider Award is designed to encourage employers in Cornwall to develop their own Work Experience Scheme to provide a high quality experience for students.

To receive a Platinum Provider Certificate the employer’s Work Experience scheme must contain a number of elements covering a range of areas, including Aims and Objectives, Planning and Briefing, Preparation and Induction, Debriefing and Evaluation and Recording and Monitoring .

“The aim of the scheme is to ensure that young people in Cornwall have access to an appropriate high quality work placement which is suited to their needs and aspirations” said Tom Hickie, from the Cornwall Education Business Partnership. “It will also give them the opportunity to learn about the selected sector and type of employment opportunities available for them”.

The Platinum Provider Award scheme was originally trialled as a pilot with a small number of firms but is now being rolled out across the whole of the county using Convergence funding.

“Jackie Phillips Flowers are one of the first five companies to receive their Platinum Provider Awards under Convergence funding “ said Tom Hickie. “We want to encourage as many employers as possible to join the scheme and will be working with them to help them achieve this Award which will benefit both their company and the students involved”.
