Work Experience Placements

Placements are arranged in two ways either via a self placement or via the EBP job book.

Self-Placement – This is the preferred route if you have an interest in a particular job area or if you have a family friend or relative you wish to be placed with. Many employers will only offer placements to students showing an interest in their company, for example, vets, legal, media, sports & leisure.

Job Book – This is sourced by EBP from our extensive database of employers who have offered to support young people on their work experience.

HOW THE PROCESS WORKS

· EBP agree dates with school
· Students are briefed at school
· All students complete application form
either on line (completed at school) or via paper copy. They are asked to choose 3 different types of work they would like to try . They must also indicate which areas  they can travel to for their placement.
· If self-placing, students collect form, complete, and get relevant sections completed by  employer and parent/carer
· Students not self placing are matched to placements from job book
· Details sent home
· Parents, students and employers sign forms and return by deadline
· Prior to placement, students must contact employer to finalise details
