L&Q Building Foundations: Work Experience

This virtual work experience programme introduces you to L&Q, one of the UK’s leading housing associations, and the role it plays in providing social homes and landlord services. You’ll explore the organisation’s story, purpose and culture, and see how its commitment to affordable housing, sustainability and inclusion shapes the work it does every day.

Across the modules, you’ll learn how different teams contribute to L&Q’s work, from building and maintaining homes to customer services and resident support. The programme also looks behind the scenes at departments such as IT, HR and Finance, helping you understand how a large organisation runs smoothly and how different roles work together to support residents and communities.

Alongside the sector insight, the experience focuses on employability skills such as teamwork, communication and problem-solving. It is delivered online, can be started on demand, and includes over 8 hours of content. When you complete the programme, you can download a certificate of completion.
