Studying for Work

Working isn't something you only do after your studies. Many students work part time while they study but, increasingly, students are also choosing to gain experience of work as part of their studies.

Colleges and employers both recognise the value of experience of the workplace, whatever it is you're studying, and whatever career you wish to pursue.

Students are often offered work experience at school, but many choose to gain more experience while stuyding at college. You can also choose to study on a work-related course, with direct links to an employer or industry. Or you can even go the whole way with work-based learning, study on the job and earn while you learn.
