Work Experience Arrangement Form (Parent Consent)

Work Experience is an exciting opportunity for students to step into the real world of work, gain hands-on experience, and explore their future career paths. It’s a chance to develop key workplace skills, build confidence, and grow employability skills.

For employers, this is a fantastic way to connect with young talent, showcase career opportunities, and strengthen ties with the local community. Hosting students not only helps inspire the next generation but also provides businesses with a fresh perspective and a chance to mentor future professionals.

Together, we can create meaningful experiences that open doors for students while offering valuable opportunities for businesses. Let’s make Work Experience a success!

I am thanking you on the behalf of The King’s College.
