The Job, Education and Training (JET) Programme is a work-based learning programme offered by the City of Edinburgh Council. It is for pupils in the senior phase of high school. It combines school education with vocational training and real-life work experience.
You will
- work towards a national qualification in employability as well as your National 4 and 5's
- have a full day's work experience placement every Friday from September to April
If you are a Christmas leaver, you can have a full-time extended work experience placement with an employer in the city. This is from August until Christmas instead of going to school.
You will also take part in employability training sessions before starting your work experience. Near the end of the programme, JET staff will help and support you decide your next steps.
You can speak to your deputy head or guidance teacher if you are interested in taking part in JET.
