Year 10 Work Shadowing Day and Year 12 Work Experience Days
This month, both Year 10 and Year 12 students had the chance to explore potential career paths by taking part in work shadowing, and we are delighted to report that we received very positive feedback from students and employers alike.
Throughout the shadowing experience, students were able to immerse themselves in a variety of sectors, including healthcare, law, media, and finance. They appreciated the opportunity to ask questions, engage in meaningful discussions, and even assist with small tasks where possible. The exposure to real-world challenges was both motivating and informative, helping to develop essential skills, such as communication, problem-solving, and time management.
Additionally, several students made valuable connections with professionals in their chosen field of interest, potentially paving the way for future placements or career opportunities.
If you are interested in offering work experience for our students in the future, please do not hesitate to get in touch via email (careers@presdales.herts.sch.uk).

You can choose which campus you’d like to attend. Please note that spaces at the venues are very limited, so book early to avoid disappointment.
