Work Experience is very important at Alderman Peel High School because it enables our students to learn and practice a wide range of employability skills.  Therefore, gaining more work-related experience is likely to give our students an advantage in the labour market. 

This opportunity also gives our students the chance to develop further their communication skills, self-confidence, working as part of a team, problem-solving and their creativity.

It is always rewarding to hear success stories from employers. Some of our employers have had such good experiences with students they offer them part-time jobs which has led to full-time employment.

Aims of Work Experience:

• Experience in the workplace and helps to prepare them for the transition from school to work
• A wider understanding of industrial and commercial life
• Ways of thinking and behaving appropriately in the workplace
• Increased self-confidence and independence
• Enhanced communication skills
• Improved capacity to work in cooperation with others
• Awareness of their own potential, enhancing their enterprise potential and utilising all their skills/attributes
