Work experience agreement

Work experience involves a placement in which a person carries out a range of tasks and duties, more or less as would an employee; however the emphasis is on the learning aspects of the experience and the person is not paid. Work experience is often undertaken in the summer before starting university, during university holidays or as part of a gap year. Please note: Due to additional regulatory requirements, this document is not suitable for use for students who are still at school, or who are under the mandatory school leaving age (16).
