Lockdown drove transformational change to work experience and what companies can now offer. Moving work experience to a virtual platform means companies can connect more students to more industry experts more effectively than traditional work experience. This transition continues to grow and stabilise allowing student experience choices beyond the usual immediate spheres of reference1-3-4

Delivering work experience virtually offers several benefits, such as:

Access- Virtual Work Experience (VWEX) opens the doors of opportunity to young people right across the country and allows employers to grow their talent pipeline and make a difference to those who really need it.

Impact- Virtual Work Experience allows for greater impact, as ‘seats’ are not required, opening up the chance for more young people to access great opportunities wherever they are.

Free- Our Delivery Partner, Speakers for Schools (SFS) is a charity organisation who are focused on ensuring educators and young people have great experiences and free access to their services to ensure a level playing field and meaningful outcomes.

VWEX enables students to experience the world of work first-hand and gain an insight into different roles across a wide range of industries. They find out about the various career paths available, build on their skills and improve their self-confidence. They meet senior professionals from leading UK organisations, expand their network to include potential employers and get evidence of extracurricular activities for their personal statement or CV.

A Speakers for Schools survey of over 2,000 people aged 18-30 revealed only a third could recall doing any work experience as students. Work experience develops essential skills and reduces the chance of becoming unemployed. It helps young people develop essential skills that employers repeatedly report a shortage of, and value when it comes to school-to-work transition.

免费- 我们的交付合作伙伴，Speakers for Schools (SFS) 是一个慈善组织，致力于确保教育工作者和年轻人获得丰富的体验并免费获得他们的服务，以确保公平的竞争环境和有意义的成果。

VWEX 使学生能够亲身体验工作世界并深入了解各个行业的不同角色。他们了解各种可用的职业道路，增强自己的技能并提高自信心。他们会见来自英国领先组织的高级专业人士，扩大他们的网络以包括潜在的雇主，并为他们的个人陈述或简历获取课外活动的证据。

学校演讲者对 2,000 多名 18 至 30 岁的人进行的一项调查显示，只有三分之一的人能回忆起学生时期的工作经历。工作经验可以培养基本技能并减少失业的机会。它帮助年轻人培养雇主一再报告缺乏的基本技能，并在从学校到工作的过渡时重视这些技能。
