Work Experience

This section focuses on work experience, it includes accounts from people who have chosen to undertake work experience and provides details about what you can expect.

Work Experience Placements

Work Experience Placements are organised through Education Business Plus, a service delivered via Connexions Cheshire & Warrington.

Placements are arranged in two ways either via a self placement or via the EBP job book.

Self-Placement – This is the preferred route if you have an interest in a particular job area or if you have a family friend or relative you wish to be placed with. Many employers will only offer placements to students showing an interest in their company, for example, vets, legal, media, sports & leisure.

Job Book – This is sourced by EBP from our extensive database of employers who have offered to support young people on their work experience.

HOW THE PROCESS WORKS
· EBP agree dates with school
· Students are briefed at school
· All students complete application form
either on line (completed at school) or via paper copy. They are asked to choose 3 different types of work they would like to try . They must also indicate which areas  they can travel to for their placement.
· If self-placing, students collect form, complete, and get relevant sections completed by  employer and parent/carer
· Students not self placing are matched to placements from job book
· Details sent home
· Parents, students and employers sign forms and return by deadline
· Prior to placement, students must contact employer to finalise details
