School Engagement
The STH Young People Programmes (Formerly Work Experience) is an initiative to offer various options to school and college students in Sheffield thinking of a career in the NHS. These programmes run throughout the year during school holidays with the exception of Christmas. Please note that on occasions we receive a large volume of applications therefore applications can close early. Due to the demand and the limited number of opportunities we can offer these programmes are restricted to school and college students in the Sheffield city area.

Your placement
Once you have secured a placement, try to make the most of it, even if some aspects surprise you. Ask questions and engage with staff as they are there to support you. Please always follow instructions and the Trust’s health and safety procedures – these will be explained to you as part of the mandatory induction. Please do not accept a place on a programme if you are unable to attend. You must inform us, as we may have a waiting list and can offer the place to another student.
