Work Experience
Work Experience at Chipping Sodbury School is a one week programme available to every Year 10 student. The student spends three days with an employer of their choice and carries out a range of jobs as directed by the employer. It is essentially like having a 'real job' for three days. Two days will be spent in school attending workshops, mock interviews, and a certificated first aid course.
Some placements are easier to find than others and many placements book up a year in advance. In the challenging economic climate, companies are offering fewer placements and students need to work hard to find a place. July is also a very popular time for schools to send out their students on work experience, so expect a lot of competition. Students who do not find a work experience placement will be accommodated in school.
