Northgate Academy

Businesses

Our businesses provide the students with hands on work experience opportunities in a safe and welcoming environment. We aim to have the students' do as much of the actual work as possible whilst being trained and guided by our job coaches. As a result of the skills and confidence which students gain from working in our businesses most go onto to work experiences in local  companies and organisations or onto career speciifc courses at college.

We ask that customers understand respect that our students may at times need some extra help  to get customers served quickly but that is the purpose of having our own on site learning facilities.
