Work Experience

Work Experience is an important part of Education for  Employability which allows students to learn about the world of work in a “real   life” working situation.

It is intended to give a student an experience of   working life and the Key Skills needed in the workplace rather than a chance to   try out an occupation they may want to follow.   Within the limits of what is   available, and the demands for very popular areas of work, the choice is made to   benefit a student’s education, rather than for job sampling or recruitment   purposes. Normally, companies where a student already has experience through a   parent or a part-time job are not used.

This makes sure that they are having a   real extension of their experience. The preparation programme for students will   ask them to look at equal opportunities and stereotyping prior to making   choices. All students, from those taking the fewest examinations to those who   will take degrees, need real knowledge of the world of work.

Pupil.org can be used by schools and students to arrange work experience and placements throughout the south east.  Users access our easy to use online booking system and choose a specific or flexible work experience path. We can assist you in locating a work placement or we can find one for you.

Pupil.org visits all new work placements and  checks health and safety along with insurance to make sure the young person on placement is safeguarded and can enjoy his/her work placement…
