Work Experience Providers - West Cork

Work Experience a subject little discussed at college but at the end of the day vital to complete your FETAC course. In my experience (and others I know) it was like working in the dark. Little or no information given to us, when information was received it was sketchy to say the least.

To ease any anxiety I have made a page for your perusal I have procured a list of likely candidates, offering possible places for Work Experience positions. Some have previously accepted Art, Craft & Design students. This however is no guarantee that they will take you on.

The Coordinator of this module @ Rossa College suggests you, apply in writing, enclose your CV and keep copies of all correspondence. Keep in mind that you not only represent yourself, but also the course and the college.

Possible Work Experience Providers That have an internet presence are accessable below. Suggest you check out thier web sites for a start, collect addresses, emails etc. I will be adding to this page as and when information is received. If you know of other such Work Experience providers please let me know. I'll add them to the list Enjoy :-)
