Work Experience helps students to develop key skills which employers say young people need in the workplace. These skills include:
- Communication

Learning and developing these skills builds confidence so that students can move on to the next challenge in school, university, work and life.

- Meet new people
- Experience life as an employee
- Build upon existing skills and learn new skills
- Meet course requirements
- Use on CVs, applications and references
