    Work Experience can be the University of Life


    Jeffers, Gerry (2003) Work Experience can be the University of Life. Business and Finance.

    Abstract

    One of the least publicised but very significant changes in Irish workplaces over the past decade involves young people. Thousands of teenagers now spend one or two weeks on work experience placements as part of their formal education. In schools up and down the country, programme co-ordinators, teachers, principals, parents and students speak enthusiastically about placements as powerful occasions of learning. For some they are also major milestones on the road to career choice.
