Notes:
- We will make contact in advance of sessions to seek nominations from the school careers department. We ask that only students with a genuine interest in the career are nominated.
- Sessions will be offered to students in Year 13, or above, or equivalent unless otherwise specified
- Numbers will be limited therefore nominations should only be for students who have fully researched the career, are studying the correct subjects and are on track to obtain the required grades. Due to limited capacity we cannot offer students places on multiple workshops.
- When seeking nominations a closing date will be advised, late applications cannot be considered.
- Nominations can only be made via the school careers department; students should not approach the Work Experience office or Trust staff directly.
Registrations are now open for our first 3 weeks of careers sessions for school students. As a reminder, our sessions are available to Year 13 students and above (or equivalent) only unless specified. We ask that students have carefully considered their career choice(s) and register for appropriate sessions only as guided by their careers teacher.
Pupils who wish to be nominated for sessions being offered on Week 4 (w/c 11th November) must give their name to Mrs McCaughey in school Careers Dept. by Wednesday 23rd October.
Pupils who wish to be nominated for sessions being offered on Week 5 (w/c 18th November) must give their name to Mrs McCaughey in school Careers Dept. by Thursday 24th October.
Pupils who wish to be nominated for sessions being offered on Week 6 (w/c 25th November) must give their name to Mrs McCaughey in school Careers Dept. by Wednesday 13th November.
Please note, being nominated by the school is not a guarantee of a place on the session. In some cases, numbers of students attending sessions need to be restricted due to capacity.
WHSCT hopes to offer in person work experiences for medicine and nursing/midwifery. Pupils with a genuine interest in these professions, please leave name with Mrs McCaughey as soon as possible. Requests will be considered but cannot be guaranteed.
