Guide for Students

Welcome! This is your first step into the exciting world of the motor industry. By going on a work experience placement you will see for yourself how a modern motor vehicle business works and at the same time develop an understanding of the world of work. This will help you learn what skills, abilities and attitudes are required in the motor industry and the roles of the people who work in it.

The experience will also give you the opportunity to:

• put yourself forward to the business as a potential future employee
• make decisions about your future career choices
• link what you learned in the classroom to the world of work
  

This toolkit has been produced to help organisers and employers make sure that you get the most from your experience. Under the toolkit utilities section on the left, you will find a number of documents that you can use throughout your work experience placement.
