Work experience

What is work experience?

Work experience is a period of time spent in a workplace for those who are

• Still in full time education
• Looking for a career change
• Wish to get back into employment.

You may have already done some work experience at school, but doing a further placement while you're at college or university can be useful in your career planning. Getting some hands-on experience in the workplace can really improve your chances when applying for courses or jobs.
