A gentle reminder...
Work Placement Evaluation
Last week, I sent a short Work Placement Evaluation to all of those who were taking part in Work Placements.
Please don't forget to go through these questions with your son asap.
A valuable part of this week involves this work placement evaluation - a brief reflection that a student takes part in with their parents on some aspects of their experience.
Please click HERE to take the survey with your son.
Also, please be sure to remind your work placement contact / employer to return the Work Placement Employer's Evaluation form at their nearest convenience.
