The work experience team at Derwen College have invited placement providers to a ploughman’s lunch today. This is to celebrate work experience week and say a big thank you to everyone that provides placements for our students. Without them students would not be able to undertake work experience and gain new skills in employability linked to their vocational department at Derwen College.

This week, 13^th-17^th October, Derwen College is celebrating work experience week in conjunction with Fair train.

“WEWeek2014 will be held on 13^th-17^th October 2014 and is an opportunity to raise the profile of work experience, let’s work together to bring down youth unemployment.

Work Experience Week is a chance for Training Providers, Employers and Young People to get involved in work experience.

Work experience allows young people to have a great experience which allows them to build a platform for their future – whilst doing this it is also opening doors for employers, providing them with fresh minded, motivated and innovative individuals.

During work experience it is important to provide full support – after all work experience is only worthwhile if it is of a good quality. That is why Fair Train have introduced a Work experience Quality Standard.”

In August 2014 Derwen College’s work experience team achieved a work experience quality standard, gold award.

Look out this week for more information about Derwen College’s work experience placements.
