Virtual Work Experience (VWEX)
Many companies are offering virtual work experience and links can be found below which students can sign up and take part in sorted by industry/sector, however, we have chosen Speakers for Schools as our main VWEX partner for this year. Students can access their portal to apply for placements from a wide range of industries and is completely free. There are some incredible opportunities that would never have been accessed through traditional work experience as students can now apply for opportunities all over the country.
Opportunities range from a 1 day insight day, to a 3 day and 5 day work experience placement. All placements are designed to be learning experiences that help students better understand the world of work, gain transferable skills and valuable insights about industries to help pave the way for their next steps.
To take part students will need to register for the Experience portal. Click here to sign up and follow the simple application process, it takes just a couple of minutes to complete the registration. Opportunities will also be advertised on the careers google classroom every fortnight.
