What is a work experience placement?
At GVS, a work experience placement (wep) is a volunteer opportunity to learn about the worker role, build up emotional and physical stamina, and build work confidence and skills. Usual shifts are 1-3 half days weekly for about 6 weeks. The GVS job coach provides support during placements, including setting up weps, accompanying clients to an introductory meeting and working along side clients on their shifts when necessary.
