A motivational tool, providing an experience which enables students to make more informed choices around post 16 progression routes and career options. Staff at B&E Together endeavour to match students to a work opportunity that they are interested in, as requested on their work placement application form.
Vocational Work Experience
A work placement that is closely linked to specific identified curriculum outcomes in line with a student’s chosen area of study. The opportunity enables students to complete coursework or mandatory hours for vocational subjects which in turn supports the attainment of qualifications (e.g. NVQ, BTEC, GCSE). The placement will be hosted by an employer that can provide specialist work experience directly linked to the subject being studied by the student at school/college.
