WORK EXPERIENCE
AT NOTRE DAME
WORK EXPERIENCE
Work experience is not only valuable in its own right but also essential if students hope to apply to certain university courses (Dentistry, Medicine, Nursing, Social Work, Teaching, Veterinary Science etc.). All students have the opportunity to complete a work experience placement during their time at College. There are certain vocational subjects where work placements are compulsory, and these will be highlighted to students at various points such as open events, enrolment, and induction.
