Paid work or
work experience and school aged pupils
It is intended to give a student an experience of working life
and the key skills needed in the workplace rather than an 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.
