Year 12 Work Experience

Work experience week is a very important, enriching part of your Year 12 experience. Not only does it support your UCAS/apprenticeship/job application, but it is also a valuable opportunity to gain employability skills.

Here at George Abbot School, the feedback we get from both students and employers after the placements is extremely positive – it truly is a rewarding experience, not to mention a great opportunity to network and make contacts for your future.

There is a lot of support available to help you source your placements. Please do not hesitate to drop into USIC to see the Careers Team or email for an appointment [email protected].

Employers – we have a page dedicated to opportunities for working with us at this link
