Why Work Experience Matters
Our work experience partners provide access to a range of internship and work experience opportunities, offered both online and in person.
These programmes are designed to give students structured insight into professional environments, helping them develop workplace skills, explore career pathways and build confidence.
All opportunities are carefully reviewed to ensure they provide meaningful learning experiences rather than passive observation.

Our Work Experience Partners
When Is Work Experience Appropriate?
- A course or profession expects evidence of exposure or insight
- Access to traditional work experience is limited
- Opportunities are structured, supervised and relevant
- The value and purpose have been discussed with the school
- Students are supported to reflect on their learning
Important Consideration
Some opportunities may involve a financial cost to families, reflecting the organisation, supervision and quality assurance involved.
Paid opportunities should always be considered carefully, with a focus on quality, relevance and meaningful learning outcomes rather than perceived prestige.
Reflection Matters
Work experience is most valuable when students reflect on what they learned, how it shaped their interests and what skills they developed.
The Careers & University Guidance (CUG) team supports students in making purposeful choices and connecting experiences to future goals.
Helping Students Explore the Professional World
Purposeful work experience develops confidence, career awareness and readiness for future success.
