Work Experience

 

International British School of Bucharest operates an annual work experience programme for the secondary school, and this is the only comprehensive model for any school in Bucharest.

Work Experience is an important part of education for employability which allows students to learn about the world of work in a "real life" working situation.

It is intended to give a student an experience of working life and the key skills needed in the workplace rather than a chance to try out an occupation they may want to follow. All students, from those taking the fewest examinations to those who will take degrees, need real knowledge of the world of work.

At present we have links with 20 leading companies from different sectors of industry including Barnet McCall and Euroweb. The participant students will be awarded with a “Work Experience Diploma” which is a major asset for their Portfolio of Achievements. Also, they will receive Letters of Recommendation from the partner companies. These meet the requirements and weigh substantially for their future admission into strong universities like Cambridge and Oxford.
