Historic England is pleased to offer a virtual work experience programme for 16-18 year olds this summer, July 12-14. The programme is designed to give delegates an insight into the wonderful careers available within heritage.
Our three-day programme includes live content, talks from guest speakers and the opportunity to contribute to some of our work as we champion historic places to help people understand, value and care for them. All delegates will receive a certificate of completion of their work experience at Historic England at the end of the programme.
The summer 2022 event runs from Tuesday 12 July to Thursday 14 July 2022.

The virtual work experience programme is open to 16-18 year olds and takes place online. Applications are open to all and we encourage applications from those who are considering a career in heritage.
Accessibility
We attempt to design our learning experiences with accessibility and inclusivity in mind so that everyone can participate equally. We are able to offer a variety of technical support functions such as closed captioning and mouse-less navigation. Our programme includes plenty of breaks and opportunities to interact in different ways. Learning materials used in the activities can be made available in advance and in different formats such as large print, audio recording, braille or accessible PDF.
If you have particular access or learning needs, please contact Becky.Bryant@HistoricEngland.org.uk to discuss how we can provide you with the best experience. We are always open to feedback on how we can make our learning experiences more accessible.
How can I apply?
We are able to accommodate up to 50 delegates for each programme. Tickets can be booked, free of charge, through Eventbrite on a first come first served basis. We usually release tickets for virtual work experience 6 – 8 weeks before the event for sign up. If we are currently opening up tickets the link to sign up will be here.
There is no application form. You just need to sign up via the link to get a space. You’ll receive a certificate of completion at the end of the three days.
