As part of its commitment to the programme, SVRJV provides students with work experience, boss day; the one-day programme is divided into 3 seminars. In the first seminar pupils get the chance to interview their facilitators about their career, professional life, the company they work for, education and training. It focuses on what employers might/will expect from future employees.
