Students, schools and employers are able to select a suitable project from a Portfolio of Projects to be undertaken during the placement. As well as acting as a valuable tool for the employer, it may also allow the student to gain accreditation for their work, including the nationally recognised Crest Silver Award for Science, Engineering and IT.
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: Following the huge success of the pilot work experience programme held at Surrey Police Headquarters in June 2004, another is scheduled to be held on 11th, 12th & 13th April 2005. For full details - see NEWS. |

| | | | | | | | Chris interviewed very poorly. He was unable to identify with what he wanted or expected from his placement in a restaurant. This proved to be down to extreme shyness.
After 2 days at work he had settled in so well that he outshone some of the more experienced staff.
'His performance shamed some of my more experienced staff!' - Manager |
