Work Experience
Work experience offers you a unique opportunity to step into real-world professions. It's a chance to explore potential career paths and gain a deeper understanding of the inner workings of organisations and businesses.
Our work experience programme is tailored for Year 10 and Lower VI Form students. This enriching opportunity for current students is scheduled for Enrichment Week in June 2024.
Acquiring Essential Life Skills and Glimpses into the Workplace
- Developing key transferable skills, such as effective communication and teamwork.
- Gaining insights into the functioning of organisations and bringing theoretical job roles to life.
- Boosting confidence in engaging and interacting with professionals.
The Dual Advantages of Career Exploration
- Validating one's interest in a particular career or, just as importantly, recognising it's not the right fit.
- Making an impression – standout students might be offered further opportunities like internships, or be encouraged to apply for future roles.
- Furnishing crucial content for UCAS personal statements, demonstrating genuine interest and experience in a specific field or role.
