Delivering a Virtual Work Experience programme provides the opportunity to:

• Develop your future talent pipeline
• Enhance your employer brand
• Enhance the knowledge and skills of young people on future work needs
• Broaden horizons, raise aspirations and increase confidence
• Reduce likelihood of young people becoming NEET (not in education, employment & training)

We know that finding a secure platform to deliver virtual activity in a secure way is a concern for businesses, so we have partnered with Speakers for Schools. We are early adopters of their tried and tested technology which already supports 180 employers from start-ups to multi-nationals, 2,300 schools & 950,000 young people.

Speakers will include:

• The Careers & Enterprise Company: An introduction to Virtual Work Experience
• Speakers for Schools: How to use our secure platform
• Jacobs Engineering: How to deliver a successful VWEX offer
• Senior Leaders from Heart of the South West Schools: Why Virtual Work Experience is so important
