Some comments from GO Wales students

“I feel having the opportunity to experience a working environment, has helped me overcome some of the barriers I was experiencing”

“I feel I am more comfortable and confident in the world of work”

“Just do it, and try not to have a set work experience plan in your mind, be open to try different things”

What is GO Wales: Achieve through work experience?

The ‘GO Wales’ project helps you to develop your employability skills and increase your chances of obtaining graduate level employment upon leaving university.

With the support of an advisor, we work with you one to one, to explore the best options for work experience opportunities, support you along the way and help you to grow in confidence.

The placements are completely tailored to fit you, your life, studies and other commitments. They can be anything from 1 to 20 days. You may also be able to get help with travel and childcare costs if required.

Who can GO Wales support?

To be considered for the project you must be under 25, studying a full time course and have the legal right to live in the UK.

You must also fall into one (or more) of the following categories:

 

Have a disability

A disability can be an impairment that may be physical, mental, sensory, cognitive, developmental, intellectual, or some combination of these.

Have a mental health difficulty

eg depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, PTSD or other?

Have a learning difference

eg dyslexia, autism, dyspraxia, ADHD or other?

Have a Work Limiting Health Condition (WLHC)

eg long-lasting health conditions or illness; impairments and disability

Have caring responsibilities

eg children, relatives or dependents.

Are estranged from your family?

You may be receiving additional support from Bangor University if you are estranged from your family.

From a care background

Have been looked after by a local authority

Have a BME background (minority ethnic groups)

Black and Minority Ethnic or Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic is the terminology used in the UK to describe people of non-white descent.

Come from a low University Participation Area

To check visit www.hefce.ac.uk/postcode and enter your home postcode (not your student address if it is different to your home address). If your postcode returns a 1 or 2 in ‘POLAR 4 Young participation quintile’ then your answer is yes to this question.
