Offer a Work Placement

Support a young person with first-hand experience

A work experience placement can be flexible based on the mutual needs of the pupil and business. It could last anywhere from full-time for one week or take a flexible format e.g. one afternoon per week, for a set period of time.

Once you have decided that you can support a work experience placement considering the following will assist you in ensuring a quality and meaningful experience which will be motivating and inspiring for all involved. 

Identify the opportunity that you are offering. This means deciding:
  • Which department the placement will be with
  • The job role(s) that the individual will gain an understanding of
  • Typical activities they will be involved in
  • What knowledge or skills they can expect to develop during the placement
  • What skills, experience and personal attributes you expect individuals to bring to the placement
​More information, including guidance on how to make the experience meaningful as well as how to support a young person throughout a work placement is available in the DYW Work Placements Standard document opposite.
