Schools
Work experience enables students to gain an experience of work suited to their abilities, needs and curriculum demands. It can make a significant contribution to the learning of young people and it is part of a progression to work based learning, further and higher education and employment. As part of personalised learning, young people can be prepared for a fast changing future in which they will continue to learn throughout their adult life.
Quality work experience is an integral part of work related learning and the development of young people’s employability and functional skills.
