The Guide includes:

• Actual tasks/projects/jobs you can give young people to do whilst on their placement to support your business
• The process prior to, during and after work experience to alleviate any concerns and provide step by step information.
• Hints and tips for successful work experience and how to get the best out of the placement.
• How to set up a timetable and share responsibility for the student so that teams can be involved rather than one individual or Manager.

• The work of our dedicated and experienced staff and the ways they can help you with the work experience placement.
• Common misconceptions with regards to work experience.
