Career Development are pleased to announce that the Work Experience Fund for 2017/18 is now available, and information, application form, T&Cs and FAQs are live on our webpages.

If you are an undergraduate student looking for work experience, but finding it financially difficult to take up an opportunity, you may be eligible to benefit from the Work Experience Fund!

We have a limited fund of up to £200 per student, which is open to undergraduate students who meet the criteria shown within the WEF – Work Experience Fund Criteria. This will help with the costs of undertaking career related work experience. This might be an unpaid or low paid role, where there are additional travel costs associated with taking up the opportunity, other than the usual cost of travel to University.

These funds can only be used to cover related travel costs incurred as a result of undertaking their work experience.

Note: The Work Experience Fund cannot be used retrospectively so if you have already started your work experience, you will not be eligible.

As this is a limited fund, applicants will be considered on a first come, first served basis, so we advise any students who may be considering work-related experience this academic year to get those applications in ASAP, in order to apply for the fund.

If you require any help with your application, you can visit The CORE drop-in desk in Augustine House, open Monday-Friday, 1-5pm, or book an appointment with a Careers Consultant via. The CORE.
