Our Skills and Employability service have launched a new conversation on the future of work experience in Worcestershire.

Traditional one-week placements are changing, and Early Careers Worcestershire are working with schools, careers leads and businesses to explore what works best for young people today. They want to hear from businesses, schools, parents and carers about your experiences - what works well, and what challenges you’ve faced.

Your feedback will help shape future opportunities for students across the county. Take part here: https://rebrand.ly/WorkXP
