Experiencing the World of Work

Local businesses welcomed Wellacre’s Year 10 students for the KS4 Work Experience to enable them to gain valuable workplace learning.

  

Work Experience offers students an insight into the world of work and lessons in enterprise and employability.  The opportunity also boosts aspirations and confidence as students reach Year 11 and make important decisions about their future and career pathway. 

  

Students joined a wide range of industries and worked hard to receive exemplary feedback from employers.  We are pleased to share the following:

George, Co-operatives UK:  George was a huge success with every organisation he worked with and proved himself to a very high standard.

Alex, Fedrigoni Self-Adhesives: Alex spent a busy week helping with checking customers' credit ratings, invoicing and sending statements.  He was also in the laboratory testing adhesive qualities on a number of products as well as recording data. 

Matthew, Vacuum Engineering:  The team at Vacuum Engineering were delighted with Matthew and congratulated him on completing his Work Experience. 

James and Charlie, Wellacre Marketing and Communications:  The duo experienced a wide range of media and marketing briefs through the week.  They impressed Mrs Quinn by assisting with web content, video editing, social media campaigns, photography and designing marketing materials. 

    

Luke, Dean Douglas Builders: Luke worked hard on site, completing a range of construction tasks with Dean Douglas Builders. . 

Sam and Mason, Locate Estate Agents: Sam and Mason learnt the ropes working in the community alongside Locate Estate Agents. 

Sonny and Aidan, Wellacre PE: Sonny and Aidan organised and led PE lessons and clubs through the week, as well as ably assisting with Year 6 pupils joining Wellacre for the New Intake Day.

Mrs Sharrock, Principal, said:

“It’s really important that students engage meaningfully with employers all the way from Year 7. Well done to our Year 10s!”
