Dear Sir or Madam
RE: Year 9 Work Shadowing Day – Monday 12th of January 2015
This letter has been passed to you by an employee who would like to offer one of our Year 9 students (aged 13-14) the opportunity to work shadow them for the day. This will require your approval; therefore I would like to provide you with some information about our work shadowing day.
Your involvement will enable work related learning for students to be both practical and relevant to the future demands of life at work and home.
Work shadowing involves a student spending a day with a parent, family member or family friend at their place of work. The student will:
- Be an observer and not undertake any tasks unless under direct supervision
- Not require payment
- Be a visitor for the day and be covered by your Public and Employers Liability Insurance
By work shadowing, our aim is for the students to:
- Appreciate what is involved in a day of work
- Form an appreciation of the different vocational areas within the world of work
- Understand the variety of different businesses/organisations which exist
- Recognise how work in the classroom relates to developing skills for the future
I would very much appreciate if you would agree to a Castle Donington College student spending a day within your organisation. If you are happy to do so, then please complete the Placement Agreement Form and return it to your employee. As part of the day, we require a risk assessment to be completed. This is to be signed by both the adult responsible for our student and the student themselves.
Should you require any further information, please do not hesitate to contact me. I look forward to your support with this work shadowing opportunity, and thank you in anticipation.
Yours faithfully
Laura Jenkins
Head of Year 9
