When organised and delivered effectively, work experience can form an important part of a young person’s education and personal development. Many schools and colleges will have their own ways of organising work experience placements, but this toolkit is provided to help promote best practice in work experience placements when delivered in the retail motor industry. This toolkit can be used to help make sure that students

• enjoy their work experience placement
• achieve the maximum learning benefit from the work experience placement
• gain an insight into the retail motor industry
• make informed decisions about their future career options.

This toolkit provides guidance and practical information on how to deliver a quality and worthwhile work experience placement within the retail motor industry. It has been provided to help organisers ensure that students achieve the maximum learning benefit and gain an insight into the retail motor industry and the career options on offer.
