Example Plan for 5 Day Work Experience

This is not a rigid template – but hopefully it provides a start point for the planning of a five

day work inspiration programme. In developing it further feel free to add additional “look

behind the scenes” visits or “Careers Happens” meetings depending on time and the

interests of the young people. The young people can work in a team or on their own on the

project, to do the interviews or for the visits depending on what works best.

Also note we have provided a number of ideas for the young peoples projects at the end,

that can be used as a start point.
