Work Experience

Work experience is the short-term placement of secondary school students with employers to provide insights into the industry and the workplace in which they are located. The program provides students with the valuable opportunity to:

• develop employability skills

• explore possible career options

• understand employer expectations

• increase their self-understanding, maturity, independence, and self-confidence.

Students are placed with employers primarily to observe and learn - not to undertake activities that require extensive training or expertise. Students are advised not to undertake work experience at their part-time place of employment.
