Work Experience - Year 10
Monday 26th - Friday 30th April 2010
What is work experience?
Work experience is an opportunity for students to spend time in an adult working environment, carrying out tasks and duties more or less as an employee, but with the emphasis on learning about the world of work. Students can participate in most areas of employment; however some areas of work are restricted by law, safety, security or insurance restrictions. Other areas are restricted by availability of placements offered. Work experience is designed to offer a broad experience of the world of work and is not necessarily a way to determine a student's future career choices.
Who participates in work experience?
All students should have the opportunity to undertake a work experience placement in year 10 in John Mason School . Further work experience may be offered in sixth form. Students of vocational subjects may also participate in work experience to support their course.
How does it help the student?
Work Experience helps students to
- understand the world of work
- improve and appreciate their skills and talents
- gain confidence and improve their self-esteem
- accept the importance of school and college work
- support a vocational qualification
- gain knowledge of particular jobs/careers
