Work experience

A work placement is an opportunity for students to spend a period of time outside the classroom, learning about a particular job or area of work.

During their placement, students are be able to find out what skills employers look for when they're hiring someone to fill a job vacancy. They also get the chance to develop their self-confidence and communication skills.

We are keen to work with young people. However, places are very popular and are limited.

Some of the students who have worked with us recently include:

Keelan, 15
Keelan has always been interested in art and design and is considering a career in architecture or planning. He took the opportunity to do his Year 10 work experience with our planning team. Read more about Keelan's experiences.

Andrew, 15
Andrew spent 2 weeks with us and visited several different sections. He enjoyed the variety and learning about the work the Council does. Read more about Andrew's experiences.
