Trident is an introduction to the world of work for students in Years 10 or 11. Students spend two weeks of curriculum time out of school and in the work place.
At this stage most have never worked so the concept is totally new to them – the aim is to give them a chance to see what different working environments are like, instil a work ethos and start to develop basic life/employability skills.
Whilst they are in the work place they can learn all of these for themselves (by doing them) rather than being told what is expected of them in a classroom setting – which is never as effective.
