Work Experience

Work Experience Program

The FIPS work experience is designed to provide 4 students with a structured week of work in which they could experience multiple different businesses. Five businesses are involved during the week and all 4 students will visit each of the businesses together, on the same day.

Each business will give an introduction to their workplace and set students a task to work on as part of their visit. As they rotate around the different businesses throughout the week, they worked on different projects each day.

At the end of the week, students presented back to some representatives from the businesses they’ve spent time with to talk about what they have learnt and how it has helped their project.

On the final day of the week, students and employers involved all met on a Teams call at 3pm and shared feedback on the week and the tasks that were set.
