Got it? Work experience offers students of today the opportunity to understand and prepare for the challenges of tomorrow. Students at school can become familiar with the skills and attitudes needed by modern business and recognise that the demands of working life are undergoing rapid and constant change.
The ‘hands-on’ nature of work experience placements is distinct from ‘work shadowing’, which involves students in merely observing employees at their particular tasks. The success of a placement relies upon an effective partnership between the employer, the work experience organiser, the school and the student.
