Careers Service
GO Wales
The Go Wales programme is funded by the European Union's Convergence Fund and the Welsh Assembly Government. Go Wales can help you get a head start in today's competitive job market.
We have a wide range of work experience opportunities and jobs plus a range of resources to help you make the most of your work experience and develop your career.
Work Tasters
Paid work experience isn’t always possible so we organise unpaid periods of work experience for students and graduates seeking to gain some experience of a particular job, industry or career. They are entirely bespoke, arranged to suit you and your timetable. Work Tasters last between 1 -10 days.
Alex Brady, a Trinity Media Student undertook a GO Wales Taster at Parthian to gain experience in the publishing industry.
Work Placements
Here are the basic facts about our placement scheme:
- Placements last around 10 weeks and are normally full-time.
- Placements are paid £240 per week min.
