WORK EXPERIENCE GUIDELINES FOR EMPLOYERS

Thank you for offering a work experience placement to one of our learners. Work experience is

extremely valuable for our learners and is a vital element of their QQI programme.

Before the placement

When requesting a placement, the learner should provide you with a letter from the college/centre

giving information on the course the learner is doing and the requirement for work experience.

If you agree to a work experience placement the college/centre will then provide you with:

  • a letter of understanding between college/centre and employer regarding the work experience placement
  • a work experience agreement form to be signed by employer and learner
  • contact details for liaison person within college / centre
  • details of college/centre’s insurance cover for work experience
  • a work experience supervisor’s report on the learner’s performance, which will be emailed
  • to you and which should be completed by the learner’s work experience supervisor and returned to the college/centre by email

Garda Vetting will be necessary if the learner will be working with children or vulnerable adults.

Please ensure that your staff are informed that a learner will be coming to do a work experience

placement

During the placement

  • Assign a work experience supervisor to the learner: a staff member who will provide induction guidance, and constructive feedback.
  • Induction should take place on the first morning of the placement and should include:
  • an introduction to the organisation, including how the company is structured, and the key
  • people with whom the learner will have contact
  • a tour of the facilities, including where to get food from inside or outside your building,
  • where the toilets are
  • first aid facilities and where the fire exits are situated (and any evacuation procedures) as
  • well as health and safety information they need to know (this is a legal requirement)
  • hours of work, timing of breaks
  • codes for doors, photocopier, PC password, if relevant
  • rules regarding use of PC and access to internet, if relevant
  • confidentiality, data protection and other relevant rules/policies
  • an outline of what the learner will be doing during their time with you – this should
  • include a chance for the learner to address the skills or experience s/he is keen to develop
  • ask the learner to complete their own contact form with details about who could be contacted in an emergency situation.
  • Employer Guidelines for Work Experience
  • The learner should be given tasks which are relevant to their course of study and which will give

them an understanding of your business. They should be supervised/supported/mentored as

appropriate. and you must take care not to place them at risk, and, as far as is reasonably

practicable, safeguard the learner’s health, safety and welfare at work. They should have the

statutory breaks to which staff are entitled.

  • The college/centre may/will be in touch with you during the placement, either through a prearranged visit or through a phone call, to check in on how the placement is going.
  • If any problematic issues arise during the placement, you should make contact with the liaison

person in the college-centre (see details below).

  • If a learner does not turn up and has made no contact with you we request that you let the

college/ centre know.

At end of placement

  • Ideally, the supervisor/mentor will review the experience with the learner, providing feedback and enabling the learner to summarise what they learned from the experience.
  • There is a report form on the learner’s performance on the placement. This forms part of the learner’s overall assessment for their course and is essential in order for the Learner to pass the Work Experience module. We ask that it be completed by the learner’s work experience supervisor and returned to the college/centre by email
