Paid employment and work experience

Working for part or the whole of your planned year out will help you finance your studies or any travel plans you might have.

 

What can you do?

Many employment options vary from short-term, casual and/or seasonal work ( eg. children's summer camps, event/ bar/waiting work, Christmas retail or pub jobs) to large employers who have specially organised employment schemes for students. (Also see Year in Industry below)

 

The Year in Industry Scheme. offers structured and paid work experience in engineering, business, science or computing for one year. As part of the Year in Industry package all students are provided with free training to level 3 with the Chartered Management Institute's course.

 

Work Abroad. Opportunities include au pair, teaching English, ski resort work and children's summer camps such as BUANC or Camp America.  Why not find out more about all the different structured year out working abroad opportunities - they often build in time for independent travel as an add-on if needed.
