Work Experience

The TUID work experience programme gives students a direct experience of British working culture, whilst providing another opportunity to develop their communication skills. Some examples of the kinds of placements that have been established include sports related placements, placements within local businesses (cafés and hairdressers), placements within charities (Durham Cathedral and the local Foodbank) and placements at local primary schools. Students are carefully selected for their placements based on their interests and suitability for the role. Throughout the programme, students are encouraged to reflect on their experience and development, making their experience more valuable and constructive.
