This page explains the steps parents and students follow, from registration to finding a work experience and a School House, and the emails you will receive along the way.

Next appointment and emails

At each step along the way you will receive an automatic email from notification@work-related-learning.com or a human email from info@work-related-learning.com.

The “First meeting” with those who have enrolled in a group or school will be a group meeting. Each following communication and meeting will be personalised, according to the steps achieved and the needs of each person. You will have received the invitation to the “First meeting” in an automated email from notification@work-related-learning.com.

1) Registration

Click on the “person” icon in the top right corner and sign up by clicking on “Register”.

You may first “Pre-Enrol” (adding school and group, depending on the case) and complete your profile later.

2) Complete your profile

Here you may complete your profile (you must be logged in).

You must complete your profile to be able to send requests to workplaces and share correct details with School House hosts.

3) Find a work experience if you like (over 16)

Each student has the opportunity to apply for three jobs at a time. This avoids “spam” in our system and makes sure you apply to the jobs you are really keen on. Please send one at a time and wait a day or two for a reply before applying for another. Some Work Tutors accept students only when their work placement is the student’s first choice, so choose carefully.

After you send a request, the Work Tutor may message you and see your profile. Make sure it is nice, with a picture of the student, a “Note for the Work Tutor”, a description and any medical conditions, to increase the likelihood of being accepted. Also reply to any of their messages promptly.

3.1) Application declined

If your application is declined, you will be notified via email (save notification@work-related-learning.com among your favourite contacts so these emails do not end up in spam). You will then be able to send another request. After 7 days without an answer from the Work Tutor, applications are automatically considered declined.

3.2) Application accepted

When one of your applications is accepted, you will be notified and you will receive an email with all the relevant documentation. Follow the instructions in that email carefully.

3.3) Nobody accepts me

It is a matter of time. Some students are lucky and get a job on day one; some need to apply to many different jobs before being accepted. We will assist you more and more until you find a job: none of our students has ever been left without one.

4) Find a School House

Each student has the opportunity to apply to three School Houses at a time. We suggest applying to one at a time, to give the host time to see your request and reply before you send another.

After you send a request, the School House may see your profile and start a messaging session. Please write a nice “Message to School House Hosts” and a good description of yourself in your profile, to increase the likelihood of being accepted, and reply to any of their messages promptly.

On the School House page you may also see the optional extras you may request: special diets and lessons.

5) Notifications

Please add notification@work-related-learning.com and info@work-related-learning.com to your favourite contacts.

You will be notified of many things, from those above to messages you get, information about the bus services, the transfer into town, useful apps, what bank to use and much more, so it is very important that you save our emails so they do not end up in spam.
