Work Experience Activities

Trident from Edexcel have produced a set of wide ranging Work Experience Activities for students to work on during their placement, to support employers in providing a meaningful experience.

The activities range from exploring a typical work pattern for a sports instructor to investigating how a residential care home caters for the dietary needs of its residents.
The activities are intended as a guide only and can be customised to suit the individual job as required.
