1 In this section Introduction Young people s guide to seeking work experience Q&A: for employers about work experience and how it fits into the school curriculum Employment and training organisations in Waltham Forest Introduction In addition to looking at Arts Award as a way of increasing participation in the arts in Waltham Forest for 14-25s, the project: Arts Award & Beyond also explored work experience and the post-16 sector as the main growth point for development. This section provides summary guidance to work experience, apprenticeships the Creative Industries. will help young people and those employing them understand their responsibilities. More information can be found on the government s work experience website. Work experience is no longer compulsory at KS4 in schools, which means young people can set up and manage their own work experience placements. This is how you go about it! Plan ahead You need to apply to employers six months ahead of when you want to do your work experience placement. Think about what work experience interests you and fits with your education subjects and career goals. If you are doing a GCSE Art subject you could work in museums, galleries, libraries, archives and heritage settings. If you are doing your Gold Arts Award, your Adviser can help you! Safety first! There are rules and regulations about working with young people covering hours and conditions of employment. Young people and employers are advised not to agree to meet one to one outside of the work place alone. Web search Do a web search of employers and make a list of those you would like to apply to. Walthamstow Academy Year 10 work experience student helping out in Vestry House Museum s shop Young people s guide to seeking work experience When employing a young person aged 14-18, whether for work or work experience, employers have the same responsibilities for their health, safety and welfare as they do for other employees. This guidance Think about practical details like the kind of work you can manage physically and mentally, There are certain work places and jobs under 16s are not allowed to do e.g. work in a factory and construction. You will also need to think about travel costs, time and hours of work (you should never be required to work evenings). Get in touch Contact employers and ask if they provide work experience placements. 01

2 It is more likely you will have a good work placement with an employer with experience of work experience. If the employer has not previously run work experience but would like to offer you a placement, you will need to request dates of your placement, your main contact person, their position in the organisation (for your main parent/ carer in case of emergency) and copy of a contract of days, hours and duties expected of you. You will need to give this information to your parent/s, carer/s and teacher. Get advice! Making your selection Ask your family, teachers, a careers adviser for advice. Young people may get advice from their school, the National Careers Service, see: or Job Centre. You can also ask your Arts Award Adviser for advice. Your school may have a list of employers who provide good quality work experience placements and be able to advise you. Your application, contact details and references Applying to employers On no more than two sides of A4 tell them about you, your career goals and reasons why you want to do your work experience placement with them. Tell them about new skills and experiences you would like to learn e.g. communication; visitor/ customer services; helping organise events. Tell them about how your skills and knowledge are suited to their organisation e.g. I am good with people and have social media skills Provide a reference from your year tutor, teacher or Arts Award Adviser You should make information about yourself relevant to the employer. Q&A: for employers about work experience and how it fits into the school curriculum Q. Is work experience compulsory? A. Work experience is no longer compulsory at KS4. However, from September 2013, work experience has formed part of the study programme. Schools and colleges are expected to offer their students high quality and meaningful work experience, to provide students with a valuable understanding of the work environment and to assist in developing employability skills. Work experience and how it fits with Arts Award Q. Does work experience form part of the Arts Award? A. Yes, for Gold Arts Award. Gold Arts Award is usually undertaken at KS5, at which time, participating students will be aged 16 or over. Work experience and Gold Arts Award Q. How is work experience relevant to the Gold Arts Award? A. Gold Arts Award has two units: Unit 1 personal arts development and Unit 2 Arts projects leadership. Undertaking a work experience placement will assist and enable students to meet the assessment criteria for successful completion of the Gold Arts Award. This includes: developing a knowledge and understanding of the Arts; enhancing creativity; developing communication skills; developing skills in planning and review; developing teamwork and leadership skills. Q. What is the expected duration of a work experience placement? A. Five days is considered sufficient. However, some employers may choose to extend this; this is very much dependent upon the employer s capacity. 02

3 Q. What do young people achieve by completing a work experience placement? A. A meaningful work experience placement can provide a student with a valuable experience of the work environment and can assist in helping them to develop essential employability skills and attributes. A placement can also assist a student in deciding on further study options or a future career path and can demonstrate their potential to future employers or universities. Work experience forms an integral part of Gold Arts Award and upon successful completion, students will have completed a Level 3 qualification, which is recognised on the UCAS Tariff (35 points). Employers, universities and colleges recognise Arts Award as a qualification that shows young people s commitment and progress in the arts, and in developing new skills which are also transferable to other non-art sectors. Q. What do employers gain from offering work experience? A. This may include increasing company profile. It may also form part of a company s corporate social responsibility. Additionally, it may help to identify a future employee. Feedback also suggests that young people can bring up-to-date ICT skills to a work experience placement. Q. What should work experience comprise? A. This should comprise activities and tasks that will support the development of the skills outlined within the Gold Arts Award assessment criteria, of which general employability skills, e.g. communication skills, teamwork skills etc. are included. Work experience should be purposeful and should offer challenges to the student, within a structured, supervised environment. Under health and safety law (The Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 is the primary piece of legislation), every employer must take reasonable steps to ensure the health and safety of all employees, irrespective of age. There is additional legislation and policy guidance for employers providing work experience placements for young people. Guidance is available from the Health and Safety Executive: Young people at work. A job description and a risk assessment are required except where an employer regularly places work experience students, in which case repeat assessments are not necessary for each successive placement. A risk assessment identifies measures to control the risks in a workplace and developing one for a young person can also serve as a useful internal review of health and safety for employers. Two guides to download from the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) website are: Young people and work experience a brief guide to health and safety for employers and Health and safety made simple the basics for your business. Q. What about insuring the young person whilst on work experience? A. An employer s existing Employers Liability insurance will cover a student on work experience, provided the insurer is a member of the Association of British Insurers. The Association of British Insurers (ABI) has also published guidance for employers planning to take on work experience students. Q. Are students on work experience paid? A. No, but an employer may decide to pay reasonable expenses for travel and lunch. Q. What is required of the employer in respect of health and safety? A. Employers have the same responsibilities for health and safety of a young person doing their work experience placement as they do for other employees. 03
