An introduction to a career in industry.

If you’re not quite ready to start an apprenticeship or traineeship, you may want to consider our Work Experience Placement Program. Through this program, WesCEF provides opportunities for students interested a careers in industry to gain exposure and determine whether a science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) career is right for you.

The program is suitable for:

• Secondary school students
• Students enrolled in relevant vocational study

Traditionally, we offer placements in the following streams:

• Mechanical Engineering (Mechanical Fitting)
• Electrical Engineering (Industrial Electrician)
• Process Operations

Requests outside of these streams are considered on a case-by-case basis.

All work experience placements are unpaid and are available only when an opportunity arises. Applicants must be covered by their sponsoring institution’s professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
