We are also including interactive booths with downloadable career resources and for the first time we will be holding a Round Table Networking Discussion Group.
Don’t miss this opportunity to get involved and you can ask questions, find out what the NHS experience is like from live professionals and get information on literally hundreds of career opportunities in healthcare- all from the comfort of your own home.
Virtual Work Experience
Springbod’s latest cohort of Virtual Work Experience programmes have their application deadlines approaching soon.
There’s a wide variety of programmes on offer ranging from medicine and law to engineering and dentistry with everything in between. As always, these experiences are completely free and can be completed in the students’ own time once they’re enrolled onto a programme. Young people have the chance to engage with industry professionals during the live webinars in our experiences. This gives them the chance to get a feel for the reality of the roles they’re learning about which is something we often hear from students they feel is lacking in other work experience placements; both in person and online.
We’ve compiled all of our latest experiences into one pdf document which you can access here.
See your Pupil Support teacher if you are applying.
