Work experience

Thousands of employers - of all sizes - admit that their staff don't have the right skills needed for the future.

We're all natural learners and the sooner we begin the better so why not invite a young person to spend a short time with you on work experience?

Whatever the size or capabilities of your organisation you could reap the benefits from taking young people on work experience.

Young people can bring many qualities to your organisation and can offer fresh new ideas or develop projects that the company just hasn't had time to carry out.

Young people seeking work experience are looking for the opportunity to develop the skills they need for the world of work. They are enthusiastic, hardworking and are increasingly computer literate which is becoming essential in the world of business.

Overall, by offering a young person a period of work experience, your business will gain new ideas and fresh enthusiasm, as well as a cost-effective means of reaching potential employees and customers.
