Rye College

Work Experience

We are delighted to be in a position to be able to offer our Year 10 students a one-week work experience in 2024. 

As well as focusing on Gatsby Benchmark 6 - Experiences of the workplace, work experience also promotes the following:

  • Building confidence and self esteem
  • Developing communication and social skills
  • Helping make informed decisions with regard to Post-16 education or work
  • Gaining experience to support future job or college applications
  • Learning new skills
  • Learning to work with adults
  • Learning to follow instructions and work on initiative
  • Team work and co-operation skills

The work experience will take place between Monday 23rd  June and Friday 27th June 2024. In the first instance students are encouraged to find their own placement (there must be Employer Liability Insurance in place), If this is not possible students can make 4 choices from the database through logging into their account on Careers East Sussex. All students have received their log in details for this. A useful guide to the system can be found below:

Students also attended an assembly with Mrs Starkey. Please see the link to this assembly at the bottom of this page.   

Work experience is offered every year, to all students at Rye College during Year 10.
