Secondary - Work Experience and Work Related Learning Programmes for Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4

You might not have any idea about what you want to do when you leave school and while we can’t make the decision for you, we can help you along the way to make the right choice for you. Not everyone is the same in secondary school. You and your friends will all have different personalities, skills and ambitions and we can help all of you to use those to get you ready for the real world of work.

Finding Your Own Placements

All of the companies we work with have been checked and assessed by a health and safety officer, to ensure that your work experience is safe and risk-free.

If you wish to do your work experience in another area, contact the work experience co-ordinator at your school as soon as possible with the details of where you wish to work. BXL can then assess your work environment and ensure it is a safe and interesting place to work.
