Work Experience

What is work experience?

Work experience is a unique way to learn from experienced employers.

Here at Sense IT we offer work experience to various local Schools and Colleges. The reason many students choose Sense IT for work experience is because we can offer an insight into the IT Industry using our fifteen years of knowledge, where you can work with experienced employees that are friendly and professional.

We provide a professional environment which is conducive for Training and Exam testing, where we see business professionals from organisations such as the Ministry of Defence, Boeing, Microsoft and Amazon (to name but a few) use our facilities to sit business critical exam tests and training.

We recognise that over the next five years there will be an influx of students looking for work experience, as Colleges adopt the new Government guidelines requiring students to complete a minimum of 300 hours of work experience over an academic year. We also acknowledge the new goverment funded T-Level course has 350 hours we are able to do work experiance here aswell.

We will where possible still accept students who are involved in the more traditional weekly programs, although we do encourage these sessions to be delivered over several weeks where possible.

All successful candidates will be treated as part of the team and will be expected to fulfill a number of tasks based on their work experience remit. On the job training will be provided, but you will be expected to have a basic understanding of technology, a positive attitude is essential, all candidates will be taken on a trial basis.

We are happy to offer work experience to students so as to provide their first insight into the IT business world, as it is important that we pass on essential skills for the next generation of business professionals and leaders.

Being one of the largest computing exam testing centers in the UK, positions us to advise on the various careers available in the IT Industry.
