Thinking about getting work experience to build your confidence and CV? Internships and work placements are a great way to do it.
With work experience, you can spend time working in a job role or industry to help you gain hands-on experience and see what it’s like in real life.
The world of work can be difficult to navigate so getting lots of work experience under your belt can come in handy when you start making decisions about your future career.
Work experience is great to add to your CV and can help you stand out from the crowd. It also means that you can ask that employer for a reference when you apply for a job.
