My son's potential work placement fell through so I'm hoping the fediverse can step up and help me out.

My 16yo son is looking for a work placement in an engineering company. Mechanical engineering would be preferable as he is planning on studying that in uni. He's a smart and dependable first year college student studying math, physics and electronics. He's predicted to get triple As, is very academic but also likes the practical side of things.

He's looking for a work placement from 8-10 July (3 days total) in the UK. We live in Hampshire but he's willing to commute for a meaningful work placement. I'm even willing to book a hotel room for a good work placement anywhere else in the UK.

Please boost for wide reach. Thank you!

Edited to clarify it's only for 3 days.

Great, my kid's college has decided to make their students do a mandatory 1 week work placement without giving them any resources to find a work placement. Parents are "encouraged to make use of their networks" to find their child a work placement. I work in tax and my son is interested in engineering. I'm sure my tax and accounting network is going to be super helpful to find my son a meaningful work placement that aligns with his interests 🙃.
One more thing to add to my never ending list of things to take care of for my kids...

My son is currently in a two week work placement at a nearby bicycle shop (it’s a school requirement to do this), so he comes home much later than usual and gets the leftovers from our lunchtime meals. The photo doesn’t document well what a mountain of food this really was 🤣 but he was so impressed by it and liked the look of it so much that he said this is the most beautiful dish I ever made! I think he was simply very hungry 😅

He seems to like his time at the bicycle shop and next to having to pump up all bicycles in the shop, unpacking new deliveries and shredding the boxes, he is also learning a lot about bicycles and their maintenance. Yesterday they even helped him to fix his broken front light. He was told that his bicycle chain was worn down (I’m not surprised) and that he needed a new one. Apparently a worn down chain makes you slower. 🤨🤣 Well, if you would ever see him cycle you would not believe that, he’s pedalling like a maniac always zooming off while I’m trying to catch up (impossible). 🤣😂

Hey Mastodon – looking for some ideas on a Year 10 #workplacement for a kid whose absolute favourite subject is #geography (followed by #sociology and #physics). He’s not set on a career but thinks these are what he’d like to roll over to A-levels.

I’ve come up with the environmental/planning teams at the local council or maybe a university lab/department. Any other suggestions welcome!
