Work experience placements at Bracknell Forest Council are unpaid.
A work experience placement with Bracknell Forest Council is a great way to build skills, grow in confidence and explore future career options.
You will get an insight into how council services support residents and communities. You will also get practical experience that can help with future applications, education or training.
Work experience is usually done while you are at school in years 11 to 13. It can also be a good thing to do if you are unemployed and want to gain some experience in a specific area.
Placements last for up to one week but can also be shorter.
