Work Experience Guidance for Supervisors

Each year the Department takes on a small number of Y10-Y13 school students for a short period of work experience.  This is only available to students who have already been in contact with a supervisor and have their agreement.

The College's webpages contain full information and documents for supervisors taking on a work experience student.

Process

• Read the Guidance for Managers
• Send the Work Experience Placement Agreement to the student.  They need to return the completed form to you before the placement starts
• When the Work Experience Placement Agreement is returned to you, you should send it to the Department's Education Manager
• Complete a Children and Young Person Risk Assessment and send it to the Department's Safety Officer - please refer to the HSE's information about work restrictions for young people before completing the form
