Work placements are an opportunity for young people to become familiar with working in a professional workplace, while also helping them learn about and understand the variety of jobs that are available in Orkney.

Work placements can help identify the sorts of jobs you may, or may not be interested in and can help make informed choices about your future.
​
This includes what subjects you should study at school, or identifying the different pathways into a career such as apprenticeships or further and higher education qualifications.

Undertaking a work placement will also help you develop transferable skills which will benefit you in whatever job you may choose in the future.
