  17. Looking Forward to Work Experience 8th-13thJuly 2013

  18. Why do we run Work Experience? • Provide a first experience of work. • To develop confidence and responsibility in students. • To help students get a feel for the work place and the skills they need. • To allow students to gain experience ready for applying to jobs/courses in the futurre. • As part of the EdExcel Level 2 BTEC WorkSkills programme.

  19. Placements 2 Options: Option 1 – Organise a Self Placement. (Deadline for this is 21st November 2012) Option 2 – Have a placement based on your interests from a job bank.

  20. The process Work experience assembly. Self placement advice. Tutorial for applications to Changing Education. School Website. Placements. Teachers will visit placements. Evaluation. Debrief.

  21. Practicalities for today… • If you have an employer in mind collect a self placement form from school today or from your child after the next assembly. • Return the form to school before the 21st November so we can risk assess the businesses. • NB: Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme and Work Experience are running in the same week. If your child is involved in DoE it is highly advisable to arrange a self placement for the 3 days they are not on the expedition. Or if possible an extra day over the weekend of the Work Experience period.

  22. Is it Worthwhile? • Confidence. • Excel. • Links between subjects and work. • Opportunities. • Focus. • Employability.

  23. “She was utterly exceptional and it was a real pleasure to have her with us for the week. I have never had someone who has thrown themselves straight in to the deep end so quickly.” From the Employer of Sophie Holt 11GL

  24. Further Information… • The school website has a section dedicated to Work Experience which will be updated as the year progresses. www.phs.cheshire.sch.uk • Students will bring home a self placement form after their next year assembly. • If you require any further information email lmw@phs.cheshire.sch.uk or ring school 01625 871811 ext 266 and leave a message for me to get back to you.

  25. Mission Statement We seek to value all our people and prepare them for their future lives in our changing world.
