Year 10 Work Experience Week – April 2024
Work Experience Monday 22nd to Friday 26th April 2024
We are excited that this year we can offer the opportunity for Year 10 to take part in work experience. It is incredibly important for students to enjoy experiencing the world of work first hand. Furthermore, with the current economic environment, employers place a high value on relevant work experience and an opportunity to demonstrate good employability skills.

Work experience is when students spend time in an adult working environment carrying out tasks and duties more or less as an employee. The placement will not necessarily reflect the eventual career choice of the student but should allow a broad experience of the workplace and an opportunity to develop skills for the future.

Work experience helps students to:
- Understand the world of work
- Improve and appreciate their skills and talents
- Gain confidence
- Accept the importance of school work and achieving good qualifications
