Work experience

Doing a work placement can be a great way of:

  • getting valuable, up-to-date experience
  • better preparing yourself for the world of work
  • improving your CV
  • making professional contacts that could help your career

This can be especially helpful if you have:

  • never worked
  • been out of a job for a long time
