As part of your study programme you will participate in a 30 hour work placement, this will normally take place during WEX Week, 2nd to 6th March 2026. Your teachers will let you know when you start college if the arrangements for your work placement will be different.

Part time work cannot be used for your 30 hour work placement.

We ask that you find your own placement as this will ensure you find one you will enjoy, are interested in and meets your needs.

The summer break is the perfect time to start contacting employers to give you a head start, as lots of students will also be looking for a placement.
