Apprenticeships and work experience

Work experience at the Council

We are currently unable to offer placements at the Council. We hope, in due course this will change but in the meantime, if you have any questions about the Council's employment and work experience programmes please contact Journey2Work@horsham.gov.uk.

Horsham District Council run two work experience programmes:

• Work experience for school pupils in Horsham District in Year 10 and upwards (currently on hold)
• Work experience for Jobcentre Plus clients through our Journey to Work programme

We also accept independent requests, such as from college or university students looking for a work experience placement in their summer holidays.

Due to demand we can only accept requests from people living or at school or college in Horsham District.

What happens after you apply

Your request for work experience will be sent to the council's Employment Support Development Officer, who will contact you to confirm if your request can be supported by the Council.

While we endeavour to support as many requests for work experience as possible, please note that no work experience request is guaranteed and you must await feedback from the council's Employment Support Development Officer.

T Levels work experience

T Levels are new technical qualifications being brought in by the Government. They are effectively the equivalent of three A levels wrapped up in one subject.

Read more about T Levels on Gov.uk

The College of Richard Collyer in Horsham has been chosen to pilot T Levels in 2020 and an integral aspect of the qualification is significant work experience placements - each student has to do at least 45 days.

Collyers are currently looking for local employers that would like to take on a student, usually on a one day a week arrangement. If you are an employer and wish to offer a placement, please contact the college on 01403 210822.
