Sourcing Work Experience
Work experience is one of the best ways to build graduate-level skills and employability, understand what you enjoy doing in a work environment, develop your career focus and plans, increase self-confidence and support your academic studies.
There are plenty of options to choose from, with something for everyone regardless of interests, ideas, abilities and level of study. Have a look at the website suggestions on our helpful resources page.
