All learners across the college are expected to undertake work experience as part of their study programme. This is not only and expectation from the college, but also one of the Department for Education.
Work experience would ideally be related to the topics that you are studying, however relatable experience would be equally as well received. This could include customer relations, time management, deadline control, and team working skills that are learnt through a number of different methods.
Unfortunately the ruling of the department of education does state that we cannot use a learners existing job role as a WEX opportunity. Also, that the work experience must take place during the time that you are enrolled on the course, so we cannot accept anything done over the summer period.
As such, all learners should look to obtain WEX placement opportunities prior to starting the course, with an aim to start it after they have enrolled in September.
