Work experience?

Question

Hi,

Okay, well i'm doing work experience at the end of april. I'm 15 year old student. But all of the grade 10 pupils needs to pick where they are going to be working for the next 2 weeks to be organized. The problem is, i have no idea how to access work experience and where to work. This may sound daft, but i'm mild deaf which means it's hard to hear what people say even if they're all talking at the same time or close to me. So theres most places i can't work. And that includes banks (Which i wanted to work in) I've got hearing aids but they don't work as much as you expect. I would really like to be a computer admin (Something like typing up from papers and storing information datas) Where can i start on this? Thank you so much to whoever answers!!

Answer 1

Answer 2

Hey! I am deaf aswell and 14 , you could work in primary school. Or even in deaf ones, they could help you to understand them because most of teachers know how to communicate with people like us. I seriously want to work in my primary school because i love it and also i want to become a teacher of deaf children. Or you could work in an office, you could just type up work. It can be easy.

Do you do sign language? =S

Answer 3

You can work in a bank, just switch your hearing aid to the special functions that work in banks i think its called T or something.

Answer 4

You need to discuss this with the teachers at school and the people from connextions. Are the staff at school aware that you have a hearing problem? I'm sure if you talk about it to them they will come up with a wide range of things and placements that will suit you. Good luck.
