What is Modern Work Experience?
Modern work experience should guarantee every young person access to high-quality, multiple workplace experiences, totalling 10 days’ worth throughout secondary education.
The guarantee will help young people to make informed choices and improve career readiness and employability by offering multiple, variable and targeted experiences throughout their education journey.
Students may experience more frequent, shorter workplace experiences in years 7 – 9 before exploring their chosen career pathways in more depth in years 10 and 11.
Let’s Make It Work!
Students will now have more work place experiences than ever before, so now we need you!
No matter the barrier, we can support you to deliver a work place experience to students.
No children allowed on site? We can help you find a neutral venue for your experience, or support you to host it in a school.
Limited time? Work placements are no longer 5-10 days, you can inspire the future workforce in as little as a few hours of your day.
No idea where to start? We can help you plan an outreach offer, mapping it to key learning outcomes AND put you in touch with the schools and colleges to fully get the ball rolling.
Still unsure? Watch how Lucid Games have made it work, despite the barriers.
