WORK EXPERIENCE
We aim to provide students on all post-16 courses with the opportunity to take part in both block and extended work-experience schemes. The work experience is usually more vocationally oriented than that in the pre-16 part of the College. This means that your chosen placement will usually be directly linked to the work you intend to pursue as a career. Students are encouraged to be ambitious in their applications. The value of effective work experience cannot be stressed too highly. For many careers and university courses this type of work experience is an entry requirement.
Examples of previous work experiences include:
BBC Newsroom, BBCTV Centre London
Airedale Hospital
RAF Leeming
North Yorkshire Police (one student per year allowed)
Local Schools
Edinburgh Hospital
German Primary School (during German Exchange)
National Parks
Lancaster Chamber of Commerce
