Year 12 - Health and Social Care / Work Experience<br />
As<br />
part of their Health and Social Care courses at level 3 the year 12/13 students are required<br />
to spend an identified amount of hours in the workplace to pass their applied course. It is<br />
crucial for them to experience as many sectors as possible to build their knowledge of the healthcare<br />
environment and understand both the breadth of opportunities in this field and progression routes.<br />
This year they have been placed in primary schools, nurseries, doctor’s surgery and other institutions<br />
relating to health and social care. All have enjoyed their involvement in the working world, improved<br />
their understanding of health and safety procedures and the duty of care needed for success in this<br />
sector. Most crucially their work experience has underpinned their studies enabling work to be<br />
evidenced from real life situations.<br />
As a follow on from work experience,on Monday 11th July <strong>2016</strong> a representative from “Parenta” came<br />
to see the year 12 health and social care vocational students to offer support to them in getting into<br />
the childcare industry.<br />
“Parenta” has access to over 200 apprenticeship placements across the UK at all levels and in all<br />
related sectors associated with childcare. The students found the visit informative and it broadened<br />
their understanding of what is on offer for their future career planning. They were able to ask questions,<br />
explore any concerns that they had and appreciate how their own work experience really did prepare<br />
them for success in their chosen field.<br />
Year 12 - Kickstart<br />
Students in year 12 took part in the “Kickstart” programme<br />
between 5th and 7th July <strong>2016</strong>. This is a three day event for<br />
a targeted group of students from both business studies and ICT<br />
who are interested in a deeper understanding of the world of work’<br />
the labour market, how organisations work and the effects of market<br />
dynamics. Students research organisations, have an “Industry Insight<br />
Day and write a blog ( the winner of which earns a work experience<br />
of their choice from participating businesses, CISCO, Sky, GSK and others). This is a cross-borough<br />
initiative so students met other students, improving their confidence and communication skills. The<br />
course is designed to build enterprise and employability skills in the participants Students particularly<br />
enjoyed the placement visits.<br />
