UNIFROG WORK EXPERIENCE PLATFORM
Click here to go to the Unifrog page.
Work experience is valuable for all students. It gives an insight into a professional field and can also look impressive on a CV and Personal Statement.
- Unifrog have created a set of guides about placements which you can find here.
- Within this set of guides, this is the best one to start with (it includes a short animation of how the whole process works).
- Next we recommend looking at this one, because it includes advice on how to find a placement.

PARENTS
Students need to agree to the placement with the employer first, and then students will get the ball rolling by adding the placement to their Unifrog account (they’ll find the Placements tool on their Unifrog homepage).
The Unifrog system will then email the employer, the parent / guardian, and the school, to collect the necessary information and permissions. For the process to work, it’s essential that students add the initial information about the placement accurately.
