Work Experience

Devon Education Business Partnership provides a placement suitability checking service for over 60 schools and units in Devon and Torbay, working with approximately 10,000 students annually.

Work Experience is an education activity, and the educational benefits should be maximised at all times. These experiences allow students to gain an insight into the world of work, its disciplines and relationships, usually by spending a short, continuous spell in a real work situation, either as a block placement of 1 or 2 weeks or an extended placement which may be one or more days per week over a longer period.
