Work experience
Introduction
Work experience is a great way to find out what it's like to have a job. It also improves your confidence and self-esteem.
Work experience can be:
- A small part of a course
- The main part of an employability programme
Work experience can help you test out your career ideas. It is also a fantastic way to learn new skills.
How we can help care leavers
