Part Time Job through Work Experience

Work experience gives students’ a chance to try out a potential career pathway, it gives them the opportunity to observe others perform a role and get hands-on experience. This is a great way to establish workplace skills, boost their resume and discover new jobs/industries, which will help further their chances of landing a likely future job.

For some lucky students who prove to be a great asset to the workplace, work experience turns into paid employment. If they do a great job and build positive relationships within the workplace, they will be the first in line to be offered a part time job. This is the case for Harrison Bienasz-Barnett, after undertaking work experience at Switch Restaurant since the beginning of the year, he secured a part-time position.  By ticking off all the skills needed in the hospitality industry, some of which are proving his capabilities and confidence, he was offered this opportunity. 

We wish Harrison all the best with his new part time job!
