This Work Experience Placement Programme is designed for students of English who want to improve their language skills whilst working within their chosen field in the UK.  This Programme allows students to take English out of the classroom and into the environment where they need it most- the world of work.  Please contact: This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it

In an increasingly competitive workplace it is often not enough to have good English skills.  Work Experience gives participants the opportunity to practise English at work.  Specific vocabulary will develop more naturally when applied to daily tasks in the work place.  It is also an invaluable chance to learn how business is conducted in other countries.  The combined benefit of English skills, international experience and exposure to other business cultures can give participants the edge they need to further their careers at home.

Since introducing the Programme, many applicants have been placed in many British industries.  Working together with our dedicated team of professional Placement Organisers, we make placements in companies where participants can practise the vocabulary and language skills appropriate to their particular career. Although placements are normally in London they can be anywhere in the UK and will last from 12 to 36 weeks.

Placements which are available include the following industries:
