Year 10 Work Experience: July 2021
As a result of the ongoing uncertainty around school closures, social distancing, and how businesses may or may not be operational, work experience for Year 10 pupils this year will be taking place in school over two days in July. The programme will give pupils an engagement with an employee and an insight into organisation, while helping to develop their employability skills.
More information will be released nearer the time.
Virtual Work Experience
We are encouraging as many of year 10 and 11 pupils to complete at least one virtual work experience this year. These take place at various times throughout during evenings and weekends.
As opportunities arise form time notices and emails will be sent out to pupils.
‘Work experience gives you the chance to explore new industries beyond theoretical knowledge, discover roles you never knew existed, and figure out what sort of working environment suits you best,’ ‘But in the current climate, with many workforces now working remotely, it’s likely to have changed to virtual placements that you do from home through your computer,’ explains Sophie Phillipson, founder of student and graduate support site HelloGrads.
