For Parents
Work experience is an opportunity for students to experience the adult world of work while they are still at school, and learn and use a range of transferable skills, personal qualities and competencies that will contribute towards their employability. Here are some common questions we are asked by Parents :
How are placements found ?
Can my son or daughter find their own placement ?
Should the activities be career related ?
How are employers approved for work experience ?
Can students attend an unapproved placement ?
Can students attend a placement outside of Cambridgeshire ?
What information will parents receive about their son's or daughter's placement ?
How can I help my son or daughter with their placement ?
Can I help with the work experience programme ?
