Almost 60 students in Year 10 began their work experience program. For an entire week, students have an opportunity to experience life in the world of work, develop the skills that they have been learning in school and begin their first steps towards a future career. A large number of companies and institutions in the area have worked hard to arrange programs and activities for students so that they get a true feel for what it’s like to work there. The range of placements taken by the students make this the biggest work experience program that has ever happened here at the British International School Abu Dhabi. Placements in the Seychelles and Ireland also reflect the international nature of our students.
Student activities will include observing surgeries in hospitals, physiotherapy, working with athletes, giving presentations to senior managers, learning professional culinary skills, teaching, morning radio shows and much more. Students will be set projects to complete over the course of the week and reflect on what they have learned when they return to school.
We would like to thank the following companies for their generous support of our program:
Inspired by the latest Nord Anglia INSIGHTS article exploring why the Early Years are the most important years of a child’s education, we know that a child’s most significant learning happens during this time - in ways that are not always immediately visible.
As a proud member of the Nord Anglia family, The British International School (BIS) Abu Dhabi is at the forefront of cutting-edge research. As one of the select pilot schools, we are benefitting from innovative studies like the recent Forbes-featured Metacognition project, which aims to enhance student learning and critical thinking.
