work experience

USEL offers work experience or job-sampling placements within its Belfast Headquarters and Manufacturing base to disabled adults and young people participating in the Job Broker Programme or through requests from Schools, Recognised Training Organisations, or Health & Social Services Trusts.
This service aims to offer opportunities to allow individuals build skills and job ready confidence within a real work environment and can be used to assess skills and abilities, test job aspirations and job-readiness in a non-threatening environment.

Work experience placements are also sought and supported within other external employer organisations. Over 40 young disabled people are supported on an annual basis within USEL’s Manufacturing base and a similar number are supported within external organisations. The external work experience numbers are increasing as a direct outcome of USEL’s provision of the New Deal for Disabled People Job Broker Service.
