Work Experience placements are one of five key pillars in our broader Grassroots scheme. Grassroots is our Global Early Careers Programme which encompasses our approach to sourcing talent through non-traditional routes. The aim? To welcome fresh thinking and new perspectives into our business, and open our doors to more people from diverse backgrounds.
