Work Shadowing and Work Tasters

Work shadowing and work tasters are an opportunity for students to gain experience of the business world through spending time with an employer.

Work shadowing is suitable for students who require a specific insight into certain careers and professions. Students follow a manager or professional and share their daily experiences.  First Partnership can arrange and monitor the programme at your request. 

Work Tasters are tailored to meet your needs. The aim is to provide pupils with an opportunity to sample the skills that they would need in order to follow particular careers.

“The knowledge and understanding, skills, attributes and qualities that young people will need to thrive in their future working lives. For everyone, the challenge to maintain and update employability lasts throughout a life” Howard Davies Report 2002
