Dear teachers,

I came across a web site in which I found that the author wrote this:
To grab a responsible and challenging position in social or education services offering hands-on experience with youngsters.

So, I am not very sure when we should use "offer with".
(While I saw that the Google dictionary saying "offer" should follow by either "to" sb. or "for" sth.)

Please help, teachers.

Thank you

To grab a responsible and challenging position in social or education services offering hands-on experience with youngsters.

The collocation is 'experience with youngsters'.
The sentence probably means that the position/job offers/provides the opportunity to work with youngsters.

What I find strange is the use of the word 'grab'. Of course it depends on who the sentence is addressed to. You say that a job is 'up for grabs' but telling potential job seekers to grab a position does sound odd.
