Universities, apprenticeship providers and employers rate work experience as a key factor in choosing between applicants. Whilst in-person work experience is invaluable it may also be challenging to achieve – due to available time, limited placement availability, health and safety and age restrictions. Virtual Work Experience is a valid and highly regarding alternative, with the added benefits that you can usually organise around your school and family commitments and do not need to worry about travel. Springpod partners with some great employers to create a vast line of live and on-demand “Virtual Work Experience programmes”. These programmes are free for students in a variety of year groups and locations.
Springpod’s vast range of experiences are great for anyone who is considering their next steps, and with each one only taking around 10 hours, your can discover a myriad of employers, learning how to go about securing a role with them while still keeping to your studies.
