Talking Futures
Work experience is important because it helps you learn what it’s like to be in a real job. It gives you a chance to build useful skills like working with others, managing your time, and solving problems. Employers like to see work experience because it shows that you’re responsible and have some understanding of how things work in a workplace. It can also help you figure out what kind of job you might enjoy in the future.
Things that affect your choices, for example, skills and experience, money and housing, personal issues such as health, relationships and discrimination.
If you need career advice and support before, during or after you’ve completed your course, our trained advisors can help by providing you with in-depth career information, advice and guidance to make sure you make the right informed choices.
