We’re excited for the launch of National Work Experience Week 2022. Students, parents and teachers can all explore a mixture of live and interactive discussions and CPD webinar events with employers and organisations as well as gaining virtual workplace insights.
As part of National Work Experience Week 2022, we’ve put together a worksheet to help students get the most out of our live events.
Our worksheets have been designed to help educators meet The Gatsby Benchmarks by encouraging students to actively participate in live events with employers and organisations offering further and higher education opportunities.
Throughout our events we’ll be holding live Q&A sessions, giving the chance for students to have meaningful two way interactions with every organisation. Attending our #NWEXW2022 events and completing our worksheets helps to meet Gatsby Benchmarks 5 and 6.
