Every year thousands of students across Ireland undertake short work placements to get a sample of what working life is like. Equally, thousands of employers support these students in this important first step into the world of work by allowing them to experience the normal day-to-day activities of their business.
These valuable experiences have been shown to be very influential in the choices students make at the beginning of their career path. This WorkXperience programme links together employers, teachers, parents and students to encourage successful and rewarding work placements for all involved.
