We are excited to announce the launch of our Take-off Programme for the 2025 season. The programme aims to provide valuable work experience opportunities for our students and equip them with practical skills and insights into various industries, helping them prepare for their future careers.   The Take-off Programme is structured into two levels, each catering to different stages of our students' academic journey:   Ignite: Tailored for our F8 students, this level provides a general introduction to the world of work, offering exposure to different fields and helping students explore their interests – dates 2nd and 3rd of June. This experience is part of an LTR unit, and the presentation will be part of this unit's assessment.   Launch: Geared towards our F11 students, this level offers more specialised work experience opportunities in specific areas of interest. It lasts a week – any week during the Summer holidays – from the 15th of June onwards.   For more information, visit our CLIP Take-Off Programme page.   For the Ignite level, the areas are not important yet, but the older students must have their experiences in an area of their interest. Therefore, we would appreciate your support in identifying work vacancies in the following areas:   Business/Finance/Marketing Law Architecture Engineering Film Making/Music Psychology Physiotherapy Veterinary Dentist Computer Science Hotel Management Biotechnology Physics   If you or someone you know would be interested in offering work experience placements to our students, we would greatly appreciate your support. Your involvement is not just welcomed but crucial in shaping the future of our students.   Please get in touch with takeoff@clip.pt if you have any work vacancies or would like more information about the Take-off Programme.   We appreciate your support in empowering our students and helping them reach new heights!
