Global Work Placements is a career tailoring service for people from different countries to take part in lots of different work experience programmes both paid (e.g. hotel jobs, graduate training etc. ) and unpaid (e.g. internships). We are a small team of people that take pride in tailoring peoples’ careers from beginning and often to the end. We work in two different ways.

• Through Agents abroad that pass us students with aspirations
• From private clients who wish to work directly through us

How it all began? 

Global Work Placements started in October 2007 as a work placement company offering internships and paid hospitality jobs to international students through the University of Cambridge in the International Examinations Division. And since we have enjoyed enormous success in placing our international people in some of the top companies in the UK, we decided to expand our clientele to people in the UK too looking for a bespoke tailored career. 

What we can do?

• Help candidates with their CV’s with our professional CV writing service (coming soon!) At the moment we are offering general free advice until we have been accredited to write CV’s.
• We can offer a work placement in accordance with a person’s favoured sector.
• We can provide support and monitoring whilst the person is at their placement.
• Provide the University of Cambridge International Examinations Work Experience Assessment (Please download a sample copy of the assessment on the page with our down loads- both Standard and Advanced & there is also a fact sheet entitled CIE Information Sheet.)
  

What is the University of Cambridge International Examinations Work Experience Assessment?

To summarize, this is an assessment in book-let form which is given to you by your work placement organizer which you fill out whilst you are at your place of work. It has questions in English asking you to write about your work experiences. If you complete the booklet correctly then you are awarded with a certificate to represent that you have taken a work placement under CIE guidelines. This certificate is very prestigious and looks very impressive on one’s CV. There are two levels according to ability; Standard or Advanced. We will advise you which one we believe that you will realistically be able to do.
*Please note this assessment is ONLY for International candidates
