HUNDREDS of students are swopping their school blazers for business wear in forthcoming work experience placements.

And students at Witton Park High School in Blackburn have prepared to face the world of work with an Industry day.

Most Year 10 students will undertake a work experience placement at some stage to help students make informed decisions about future career choices.

The event at Witton Park High was led by 22 advisers from industry and commerce as well as representatives from local colleges and training providers.

The students work experience programme begins today.
