Work Experience
CathWest Trade Readiness Year 10 students have the unique chance to explore a variety of career paths through five one-week self-sourced work experience placements throughout the year. This hands-on experience allows students to try different trades and industries, providing realistic insights into potential future careers. By exposing students to diverse work environments, we aim to help them make informed decisions about their educational and career pathways. Work experience is an excellent opportunity for students to develop essential workplace skills and gain confidence.
