How To Find A Placement?

RAS has a list of employers used on previous WEX placements, which you are welcome to contact.

You can also google search companies using keyworks for example, vets, architechs or healthcare in Bath/ Bristol.

Send an email to the employer asking for work experience, you're welcome to use this template and adjust it to suit you.

Give the employer a call. If it's a small business ask to speak to the Manager. If it is a large business ask to speak to the work experience coordinator.

If you do call, be sure to list the questions you want to ask before hand. You will also need information such as the dates and times of work experience and your contact details.

You can always drop into the business and ask in person. Remember to look presentable.

We are offering work experience workshops if you need support finding a placement. Let you tutor know if you would like to come along.
