Work Experience

In June, all Year 10 pupils will undertake one week’s work experience

Work experience is important for getting into any career. Having some can make you stand out from the crowd on applications for courses, training, and jobs. If you do not know what job you want, or you cannot get your perfect placement, any work experience is better than none. Whatever job you try, you’ll learn more about yourself and working life. You’ll also gain skills in the process. It may even lead to more suitable experience with the same company. It could be good preparation for another opportunity that’s closer to what you want to do. Try not to worry about where you could go to get work experience. Concentrate on what you could learn or improve on.

In Year 12 students will also get the opportunity to undertake work experience. Support will be provided to help guide students to find a work experience placement that is closely aligned to their future career plans.
