Do first take 16 year olds for work experience?

Amy J. asked a question to Michael J.

My son is 16 and is a bus fanatic. ( especially gemini buses ) I was wondering if firstbus do work experience. It doesn't need to be for longer than a day as he has autism and a learning disability. He really wants to be a bus driver when he's older but his chances are slim. I'm trying to find any way I can to give him just a day of work experience with buses. It could be something small like cleaning a bus and I would be there to help him along as he is a bit shy. Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. :)

  • Good Afternoon,

     

    Apologies for the delay. Yes we do offer work experience. Usually this is done directly through each local depot. 

     

    Where are you based and we can put you in touch with the correct depot?

    Many thanks

    Mike
