Work Experience for Year 10 students: Tuesday 13 – Thursday 15 July 2027

An exciting opportunity to explore the world of work and gain valuable experience outside the classroom. Use this page as a Tallis student, parent or carer, or an employer, to learn more about how to set up Work Placements. If you or somebody you know is interested and able to host a Tallis student from 13 - 15 July 2027 at your place of work, please email Katie Goodrum.

What is a work placement?

A work placement is a short period of unpaid time spent with an employer where students will do some work shadowing as well as project or task based work, to gain real life industry experience.

How do students find a work placement?

Students should try to choose a placement that links to a future career interest, if possible. Speaking directly to people is usually the best way to secure a placement. Ask your family, friends, social networks, neighbours, local businesses, community groups, and places of worship. Think carefully about how far you are willing to travel for the placement.

What if a student is struggling to find a work placement?

If you are struggling, please let your Tutor and Ms Choudhury know by December 2026. She may be able to support you in finding a suitable placement.

Once an employer offers a placement, enter all placement details on Unifrog

Tallis will be using a platform called Unifrog to process work placement details. Students have already used it in their PSHCE lessons. The employer, and parents or carers, will need to authorise the details. The deadline for this is April 2027 but please aim to complete this as soon as possible.

Employers must have Public Liability Insurance. If they do not have this, you will not be able to attend the placement. Public liability insurance may cover work experience students, but this depends on the employer’s policy and whether students are explicitly included.
