Benefits for students:

  • Helping to prepare young people for the world of work and to enhance their employability skills
  • Learning from contact with people who actually work in that particular occupation
  • Students gain experience and knowledge about working practices, the work environment and the hazards associated with particular workplaces
  • Curriculum enhancement of applied and vocational subjects
