Pupils got to experience life working at Knowsley Safari from the comfort of their own classroom.
Specialist provision school, Alt Bridge School in Huyton, were the first to trial the safari park’s ‘virtual work experience’ careers programme. Pupils aged 13 to 18 used state-of-the-art virtual reality (VR) headsets to experience career opportunities at the park.
The ‘Let’s Explore the Visitor Economy’ workshops removed limitations of traditional work experience allowing the students to gain an insight of possible careers at the park.
