Title: Quiz cloned

What type of experience are you looking for?

It looks like a placement would suit you best!

We define a placement as work experience that forms part of a degree, where you will often undertake an assignment, progress reports or other learning activities in addition to the tasks you perform within the role.

It looks like an internship would suit you best!

We define an internship as a structured, pre-defined period of work, with agreed goals and objectives, which sits outside of your studies. It will meet your career development needs by providing relevant professional experience, and will align with the organisations business needs.

It looks like work shadowing would suit you best!

We classify brief observations of work (without participation) as work shadowing. As you won't be undertaking work yourself this activity is generally unpaid, but can be a valuable learning experience.

It looks like a project work would suit you best!

Project work takes place when organisations have a discrete project that sees them partnering with the University to solve a problem, undertake research or explore a business decision. This will often be part of your course.

It looks like mentoring would suit you best!

Mentoring is similar to work shadowing, in that you won't be actively undertaking work, but will have the opportunity to learn from an experienced individual in your chosen field. You can sign up to Warwick's e-mentoring scheme to find a mentor who's experience may be helpful for you.

It looks like casual work would suit you best!

Working part-time alongside your studies can help you to support yourself financially and also gain valuable skills and experience that will benefit your future career. You can work for up to 20 hours per week during term time.

It looks like volunteering would suit you best!

Outside of studies, volunteering is an activity that is freely undertaken, that involves spending time (unpaid) doing something that aims to benefit the environment, individuals or a group. Explore Warwick Volunteers to find opportunities.
