The Details...

Why take part in a work taster?

A work taster gives you the chance to make an informed career choice. Seeing what goes on in different organisations will give you an insight into whether you are the right decisions about your future. There's no substitute for experience so why not try out a particular career before making a commitment?

How long will each taster last?

Work tasters are flexible and designed to fit around your studies and other commitments plus those of the host organisation. They tend to last between a day and a couple of weeks.

Will I get paid?

There is no pay as you will not technically be an employee of the company you visit. You will be taking part in a taster to gain experience.

Can I undertake a work taster at any time of year?

Yes, work tasters can take place at any time.

What companies can I be placed in?

Almost any. We work with companies in all sectors in all locations in Wales. We also work with public sector organisations such as councils, schools and hospitals.

Can graduates take part?

Yes, or course. We encourage students to take part so they can gain experience and make a decision before they graduate but those with a degree can also take part.
