“My time at The Peter Jones Foundation helped me top up on my marketing knowledge and build my communication skills.

Being a part of the IEA at Anglo has enhanced my knowledge of how a business works and has given me the confidence to get out there when I finish my exams!

If you are very business minded, the IEA offers a great insight into the real world of work. It gives you the extra push that you need to succeed.”

“The IEA is an eye-opening experience that shows you just what goes on inside a business and what it must do to succeed and be sustainable.

Doing my work experience at The Peter Jones Foundation taught me many professional skills, like how to contact people and how to present. On a personal level it also taught me about perseverance, decision making and how to successfully work as a team.”
