4. Work Experience  provides direct experience of the world of work  gives students the chance to try out something new or find out more about careers they are already interested in  opportunity to build workplace skills  may reveal a hidden talent!

5. How to find a work experience placement  Use any contacts you have – companies respond favourably when an employee recommends the student  Use the directory www.northbrook.ac.uk/wexwww.northbrook.ac.uk/wex  Students have been issued username & ‘new’ password: imber120stunbworkex  All work experience placements need to undergo a health and safety assessment for it to be a school authorised placement. We employ Northbrook College, Worthing for this  Working with family or outside of the county? If we can’t approve the H&S we require a letter from parents.  H&S charge to the school is £45  Consequently, we ask for a £15 contribution from parents to support this via Parentpay.
