Work Experience Placements
The Volunteer Programme supports Work Experience placements in the Farm,
Stables and the Garden. Students get a good idea of what work experience
outdoors, and in an agricultural, large animal environment, is like.
Short-term Work Experience placements run from Tuesday to Friday, ideally for 2 weeks.
These students are expected to have a keen interest in the work
they intend to do and should be assessed by their referring agency by
someone visiting the Farm during the placement.
The Farm also has placements for one day per
week over a longer period (usually 13 weeks) known as Long-term Work
Experience. These are more
suitable to young people interested in vocational work who may benefit
from some education outside of the classroom environment. |
