Year 12 students from Ada College recently undertook their first workplace visit at the global private equity firm, Apax, gaining firsthand experience of professional environments.

Students visited Apax, where they learned about the varied career journeys of current employees, toured the office facilities, and observed the company’s day-to-day operations. The visit provided valuable insight into everyday working life.
During the visit, students were tasked with presenting strategies to mitigate a simulated cybersecurity scenario. This challenge aimed to test their critical thinking and technical expertise.
Every learner at the Sixth Form is required to attend at least three pathway-specific workplace visits during their studies. These experiences are designed to allow students to immerse themselves in professional settings, network with industry volunteers, and develop a practical understanding of the working world.
