Every year we organise over 5,000 Work Experience Placements for Year 10 and 11 students.

A 10-day placement gives students a valuable taster of the ‘world of work’, its needs and disciplines.

How does it work?

• We negotiate the Annual Work Experience Calendar with schools to maximise the opportunities available to young people
• We undertake the Health & Safety visits and other legal vetting of all  the Providers
• We provide full Job Descriptions for all of the placements

We ask you to:

• Thoroughly prepare your students for their Work Experience Placement, including Health & Safety awareness
• Match your students to the placements provided
• Visit your students whilst on their placements
• Provide opportunities for your students to reflect upon and review their learning experiences when they return to school
• Inform us of any problems or real successes during the placements

Benefits to young people

• Develops career ideas
• Builds confidence & self esteem
• Enhances knowledge and skills

I enjoyed my 2 week placement with WM Kelly & Son Ltd.  Mr Kelly taught me joinery and cabinet making skills that will be useful to me in the future."
