YEAR 10 WORK EXPERIENCE
Procedure for obtaining a placement
There is a 4 phase procedure for gaining a work
experience placement:
 Phase 1
 Students should start looking now for their own
work placement.
 If you receive a positive response from a company,
ask them to write to confirm to you and hand this
letter into me.

 Phase 2
 Week commencing 12th November, the Central
Sussex Work Experience Database will be opened
to you.
 The database will provide details of placements
who have previously had work experience students.
 These placements are suggestions, they are not
guaranteed!
YEAR 10 WORK EXPERIENCE
Procedure for obtaining a placement
 Please choose three placements from the database.
 There are no restrictions on the type of placements.
 For example you can choose a building company, a shop
and an office placement.
 But they should be in an industry that you are
interested in finding out more about!
 I will supply forms to your tutors for you to complete
with the job numbers that you are interested in.
 This form should then be returned to me.

 Phase 3
 I will then contact the placements to determine
whether a place is available.
 You will be notified via your tutor if the placements
are unavailable.
 Placements are allocated 1st come 1st served.
So the quicker you provide your selections the more
likely you are to get something you are interested in.
