Vale of York Academy @ValeYorkAcademy@capecodboro Hi, Mr Eastaugh is sending out an email to parents this afternoon which has all the details about remote learning. Thanks for checking!2 weeks ago
Our Year 10 students undertake work experience during term-time, usually for a two-week period in May.
We will work with the students beforehand alongside NYBEP who facilitate the process for us, to help them to find a placement.
We also encourage students to do additional placements and explore the possibility of part-time work at weekends and during holidays, to boost their CVs.
Why do we do work experience?
There are many reasons for doing work experience, including:
To develop and understand employability skills
To explore a particular interest through employment
To experience the workplace
For future references / job application forms
Possibility of part-time job opportunities
Finding a work placement
Here are some general tips for finding a work placement:
Ask your friends and family if they have contacts.
Think about the kind of work you’d like to do and what you definitely don’t want to do.
Use the NYBEP database – we will give you login information.
Remember that you will have to make your own travel arrangements so make sure you find somewhere accessible .
Don’t just go for the same placement as your best friend, think about what is best for you.
Be prepared to call or email the company/companies you’re interested in.
Don’t worry if you’re not successful first time! You might need to ask a few companies before you find the right placement opportunity.
