Work Experience
Work experience is a fantastic opportunity to show what you are capable of and it looks good on your CV and is valued by employers. Y12 students are strongly encouraged to take part in at least 1 week of some work experience to strengthen their applications to University, apprenticeships or employment. In the current climate there are also tonnes of virtual work experience opportunities available to young people.
