Lots of young people in school years 10 and 12 will be asked to organise their own work experience placement...and that can be a tough-ask if you're a young person.
You think you might want to be a electrical engineer or maybe you want to work in law...but if you don't know engineers or lawyers then finding work experience can really be a massive uphill climb.
But don't worry - we've got you!!!!
In the 60 minute session the following topics will be covered:
💥 How to use social media to develop a network
💥 What your parents / relatives can do to help you
💥 Why your 'adult network' is a key way to find a great placement
💥 How to demonstrate to an employer that you're serious about their work
💥 An email template you can use to contact employers
💥 Why developing 'relationships' is your key to getting people to help you
💥 How to prepare to get the most from your work experience
💥 What you need to do after your work experience
At the end of the session, you'll have a list of things that you can do that will really help you find a great placement!

Finding work experience in the NHS
Finding work experience in the NHS
Work experience in the NHS is a fantastic way to gain insight into a particular career. It can also be a valuable way of getting some confidence and experience of caring for people. Whether it is a short or long-term placement, full or part time, or on a structured or informal basis, work experience can help you choose the right career.
The NHS is made up of over 300 NHS organisations across England and each is responsible for arranging work experience. So, you'll need to contact the NHS trusts in your area direct. Ask to speak to the human resources, voluntary services or education and training departments, and they'll be able to give you some guidance.
You might also want to speak to the careers adviser at your school or college who might be able to help. He or she might already have agreements with the local NHS around work experience placements.
To find NHS trusts in your area, visit the NHS website.
Good luck!
