At Alleyne’s Academy, we believe in the importance of providing students with opportunities to gain real-world experience. Our Work Experience program offers students the chance to step into the world of work for a week, providing invaluable exposure to professional environments.
Work experience provides an invaluable insight into the professional environment, helping students develop key skills such as:
Students are encouraged to seek their own work placements, with guidance from parents if necessary. These placements may or may not directly align with a student’s intended future career path, as the primary goal is to expose them to a professional working environment.
It’s important that all placements ensure a safe and healthy environment, and ideally, students should be placed with employers who have up-to-date employer liability insurance. All placements will be reviewed to ensure they meet the necessary health, safety, and child protection standards.
