Skills for Work: Work Experience
Mae disgrifiad y cymhwyster yn Saesneg yn unig, gan ei fod wedi ei gymryd o fanyleb Saesneg Pearson.
Work Experience is a Pearson Skills for Work unit in which learners find out about types of work experience, describe what they and employers expect, plan their travel and first day, and take part safely in a placement or work-related activities. It is one 20 hour unit that learners combine with others into a Pearson Skills for Work Award, Certificate or Diploma, from Entry 1 to Level 2, assessed internally by the centre. Literacy sits in describing and explaining expectations and benefits, reading sources of information, completing planning documents and a first-day checklist, and communicating and following instructions at work. Numeracy is light but practical: planning journey times and, at Level 1 and Level 2, travel costs.

Describing types, benefits and expectations of work
Entry learners list, outline or identify types of work experience and personal and employer expectations, Level 1 learners describe at least three of their own and four employer expectations with reasons, and Level 2 learners explain how meeting them affects performance, relationships and future employment. This is required by the assessment criteria, in speech or writing.

Communicating and following instructions at work
At every level learners show communication and work skills while taking part in work-related activities, following instructions and processes. Level 1 learners show effective communication and teamwork, and Level 2 learners apply interpersonal skills with confidence and professionalism. This is required by the assessment criteria and is usually evidenced by observation.

Da gwybod
- The unit is "SfW 14" with 20 guided learning hours (Unit summary, page 5), and "Learners can only achieve each unit once, at a single level" (Rules of Combination, page 6).
- Entry 2 planning is scaffolded: learners complete "a pre-populated worksheet" (Essential information for assessment decisions, Entry 2, page 73), while Level 2 learners produce "accurate and well-structured planning documentation" (page 75).
- Travel numeracy is assessed at Level 1 but qualified: learners plan "travel arrangements (including timing and costs where appropriate)" (Essential information for assessment decisions, Level 1, page 74).
- Communication is assessed in the activity itself: learners "demonstrate basic communication and work skills" at Entry 3 (page 74), and evidence can be "observation records, witness testimony" (Assessment requirements, page 9).
- If AI is used, "the final submission must be in the learner's own words and reflect their own effort" (Requirements relating to permitted/prohibited resources, page 76).
- Teaching content is in Pearson's separate Teaching and Learning Support document (Unit content, page 73), and the specification lists numeracy, literacy and digital links in Annexe C (page 121).
Cysylltiadau â chymwysterau eraill
Describing workplace expectations and writing planning documents support GCSE English Language and Literature and GCSE Business, and timetable and cost planning practise the everyday numeracy in GCSE Mathematics and Numeracy. Customer-facing work-related activities link with VCSE Retail and Customer Service and VCSE Hospitality and Catering, and Annexe E names Transport for Wales and NHS Wales as Welsh work experience sources (page 129). Within the WJEC Skills Suite, Applying for jobs and Interview and confidence techniques carry the CV and interview writing and talk. Compared with the WJEC Work experience unit, the Pearson unit has the same 20 hours, asks for more travel planning numeracy, including costs at Level 1 and contingency plans at Level 2, and does not ask for a CV, application form or written review of the placement.
