1 Year 10 Work Experience Directory 3rd-7th July 2017

2 INTRODUCTION Work Experience is a very important part of your school life. It helps you to prepare for your future working life in many ways. You can try out the skills you have developed in school. Careful preparation for work experience will help you to get the most out of your placement. Choosing the right kind of placement for YOU is very important. This booklet has been planned to help you make the right choice. It is up to you to find your own work placement either from your own contacts or using the contacts provided in this booklet. USING THIS BOOKLET This booklet explains what activities each type of placement involves. It is best to decide on a few sections you want to look through in detail. Use this booklet to help you to decide which are the most suitable types of placement for YOU. Read through the example placement descriptions. Note down any particular characteristics you need to think about, e.g. if the placements you are considering ask or working with your hands or in a noisy environment or out of doors - is this what you want? HELPFUL HINTS FOR DECIDING THE BEST TYPE OF PLACEMENT 1) Is the type of placement linked to a curriculum area or subject area that you enjoy? 2) Is the type of placement linked to a career idea/plan for your future? 3) Will these types of placement give you an opportunity to develop key (life-long) skills? E.g. communication and numeracy skills, working in a team, adaptability etc. 4) Will this type of placement give you an opportunity to develop particular skills (if only for a short time), e.g. word processing or using a telephone switchboard? 5) Do the skills and abilities you have to offer match what the employer asks for these types of placements? Be honest with yourself!
