Secondary school pupils

Work experience placements are available for every S4 - S6 pupil.

Schools can help pupils find a placement or pupils can arrange their own; although all work places must have Employers Liability Insurance.

Most placements run for one week, but short or longer-term experiences might also be available.

Pupils should contact their School Work Experience Co-ordinator for more information.
