Overview of the programme
Our week-long programme is designed to give you an opportunity to gain practical skills through the tasks that will be set for you throughout the week while being supervised by one of our experienced colleagues. You will also be given a chance to attend Interview Skills training and attend a mock interview where you will receive feedback to further develop your skills in this area.
If you are interested in attending either of our work experience programmes, first discuss with your School and then apply to us direct through our online application form before the closing dates for each programme. We will inform everyone who applies if they have been successful or not within 1 week of each closing date, however, this is not always possible due to the high number of applications received. In this instance it may not be possible to inform all unsuccessful candidates.
