Our Work Experience programme gives you the chance to explore the world of work and see what a career in our industry could look like. Over four exciting days, you’ll get hands-on experience, develop new skills, and discover how your ideas can make a real difference.
This programme is also part of a research study exploring how work experience benefits young people. Everyone who applies who meets the eligibility criteria will be included in the study and randomly selected either for a work experience placement or to join a comparison group. Both groups play an important role in helping us understand the impact of the programme, and everyone will be invited to complete short surveys. If you’re not placed this time, we still value your involvement and contribution to shaping future opportunities.
What you’ll gain
During the in-person placement, you will get hands-on experience working on real projects, build essential soft skills that help you gain and develop skills that will support your future education and employment, including:
- Communication – expressing your ideas clearly
- Teamwork – working with others to achieve goals
- Creative Problem Solving – thinking of solutions in new ways
- Self-Management – organising your tasks and time
- Listening – understanding and valuing other perspectives
