What does it mean ? 

  • The work experience program offers 6th grade students (and 5th grade students if they are highly motivated) the opportunity to have a real experience in company or organisation during the school year’s last week or during their holidays.
     

  • Students are invited to find a company for their placement by themselves. However, lists are available and the head of programme can provide them with ad hoc advice. In addition, the school is offering a limited number of placements. Only 6th grade students will be entitled to apply for such placemets as soon as the information will be provided by organizing companies. Please regularly check the “Internships Offered” (by Eurocontrol and

    ServetheCity Brussels) tab for more details (not before March/April 2016).
     

  • So far, the students have chosen various areas for their work experience: medical, journalism, translation, science, IT, zoology, administration,…
     

  • Spoken languages are mainly French and English but also Dutch, Spanish, German and others, as work experiences can take place in an EU country. It can obviously be an opportunity to improve your language skills as well.
     

  • All students participating to the programme will be covered by an insurance provided by the school.

- Although highly recommended, work experience is not compulsory.


- Students can go for an internship in all EU country. Due to the variety of placements and the number of risks, students will be asked to find a work experience in an EU member state. Traineeships in other countries might be authorized if parents/legal tutor :
