About Work Experience

Work Experience exists to form links between education and industry. Work Experience has a key role in raising attainment and motivation and in improving the employability skills of students and young people.

The Benefits

The work experience programme is designed to be beneficial to all involved - Employers, Students and Schools.

For employers, the benefits of participating in the work experience programme relate to the overall organisation and its employees.

Students find the work experience placements enjoyable, relevant to school studies, and helpful for personal and vocational development.

Health and Safety

This will probably be the first experience of working life for many, and is an excellent opportunity for Students to gain an early understanding of the importance of safe working practices and attitudes.
