Costco are a multinational cash-and-carry warehouse. Thomas Knyvett College recently took five SEND students to their local warehouse.

“Our students had an incredible opportunity to see the inner workings of Costco.”

Students took part in a variety of engaging activities in multiple departments within Costco. They got the chance to meet a number of staff and most importantly, helped to make a pizza for lunch!

“The trip was particularly relevant for our SEND students who did not secure a placement for work experience week. his demonstrates the support and effort being made by large employers to welcome SEND and AP students into the workplace.”

“The visits from various schools have been hugely enjoyable for our teams. All students have been really engaged, asking great questions and hopefully have left feeling inspired. Our staff are very proud to be involved with such a meaningful project.”
