This resource is a very useful covering letter template for secondary school, college sand university students to see an example of a model covering letter and use as a guide/framework for completing their own covering letter for applying for work experience, volunteering or paid employment. It’s a straightforward, easily adaptable template that can be used for an applicant of any age and a job in any sector or industry.

It could also be used as a resource in PSHE lessons (such as when learning about the world of work or completing a mock job application), KS3 and GCSE Business Studies lessons, a form time activity or as part of an enterprise activity/day.
