Ofsted Report on CEAIG IG - Sept ‘13
Inspectors found that sourcing work placements was the biggest barrier to schools arranging them for their
- students. The reasons the schools gave included high
competition for placements from other schools and colleges at the same time of the year. However, the schools that were successful in arranging work experience for their students had made careers guidance, including links with employers, a high priority and had invested additional staff time and
- ther resources in it.
SLIDE 9
Univ iversal entitlement to work experience?
In one of the schools visited where careers guidance had a high priority, the students had a universal entitlement to work experience. Sourcing and applying for their own placements were part of each student’s overall tasks. The school presented these as well-managed learning processes that successfully developed the students’ independence and resilience. The students felt that this gave them very good
- pportunities to think about their future careers and
the types of work environments that they might encounter.
