Delivering meaningful experiences of the workplace

@CareermapNews is proud to announce that we have been commissioned by The Careers & Enterprise Company (@CareerEnt), in partnership with @_EngineeringUK, to develop a ‘how to guide’ for delivering experiences of the workplace.

The resources outline step-by-step how you can run a successful work experience programme, whether that be face to face, virtual or blended.

The Careers & Enterprise Company work experience guide encourages employers to join forces with schools and colleges to tackle the impact the pandemic has had on delivering experiences of the workplace.

Although it is true that the pandemic has significantly impacted face to face work experience programmes and placements, many employers have successfully transitioned to a virtual workplace delivery and you can too!

Young people need exposure to the world of work to support their transition from classroom to employment. This helps to develop a young person’s employability skills and raises aspirations.

Your Guide to Experiences of the Workplace – How to use this resource?

As an employer, you can utilise this resource to download key documents covering all legal and safeguarding requirements and discover how you can work with schools and colleges to support young people. You will also find a wide variety of templates to support the design, delivery and evaluation of your experience of the workplace.

If you’re a school or college, please feel free to share this resource with employers who you collaborate with on work experience projects.
