Work experience the public sector already relies on
Why this matters
NHS Trusts, local authorities, combined authorities and government departments all carry a responsibility to reach the young people in their communities.
Young people can't aspire to a career they've never seen. If you say "NHS" to a teenager, they may picture a doctor or a nurse, not a data scientist, an estates manager or a procurement lead. Say "defence" and they won't picture engineers, cyber analysts or logisticians.
Close the gap between what young people know and what's actually there
Virtual Work Experience gives them a proper look inside your organisation, and "I didn't know that was a job" becomes "I could do that."
Your problems, and how we solve them

It is brilliant to see that young people are actively interested in the work of the Environment Agency, pursuing environmental careers, and exploring ways they can protect homes and habitats for future generations."
"Launching our Virtual Work Experience Programme with Springpod has completely transformed how we raise awareness of Healthcare Science careers and attract young people into our profession. In just 12 months, we have reached almost 17,000 young people nationwide."
"Creating a strong local health and care workforce starts with helping young people understand the opportunities available to them.
