Work Experience
A student from The Academy of St Francis of Assisi and Mr Kelly from WM Kelly & Son Ltd
YOU can help shape the skills of a future workforce by providing a Work Experience placement to a young person.
A 10-day placement gives students aged between 14 & 16 years a valuable taster of the workplace, its needs and disciplines.How does it work?
- We produce a calendar of potential dates for Work Experience Placements
- You choose convenient times to offer placements to interested students
- We then undertake a Health & Safety visit and request details of your Employers’ Liability Insurance
We ask you to:
- Agree a standard job description for the student
- Give them a ‘Company Induction’ on their first day which includes Health & Safety arrangements, Policy and Procedures
- Monitor and report on their performance in their ‘Work Placement Record’
Benefits to your business
- An opportunity to identify future recruits
- Raises your company’s profile in the community
- An opportunity for your staff to develop their supervisory skills
Work experience enhances the personal development of our staff and enables us, as an organisation, to put something back into the community."Frank Byrne
