We want to encourage our young people to explore a wide range of industries and careers to ensure they feel well-informed about their future. To further their career knowledge, we encourage students to take part in a virtual work experience activity. Taking part in virtual work experience gives a young person the chance to gain experience in the workplace, develop their skills, boost their employability and to explore new industries and jobs. Virtual work experience is a broad term covering anything which provides young people with an insight into what it is like to work in an industry or job role while at home. Most virtual work experiences range from half a day to one week and are often held during school holidays. I have included a link to Springpod who offer a fantastic range of virtual work placements which I would be grateful if you could share with your child. https://www.springpod.com/virtual-work-experience
