Work experience provides an invaluable opportunity for young people to gain an insight into, and experience the world of work.

The placement will be focused on developing the relevant practical and technical skills required for the profession or trade that the students are studying.

Placement sets students up for success with work-ready preparation including appropriate work ethic, expectations and professional etiquette and any additional support will be provided to students and placement by the Placement Officer.
