About work experience:

Work experience gives you the chance to explore the world of work, and get first hand experience of the different sectors of industry. Normally, you will be asked to do work experience in Year 10 but you can always do work experience in the half-terms, or popularily in the summer holidays. Now if you are thinking "should I or should I not do experience?", well one piece of advice I will give to you is that, work experience not only develops your communication, independent, thinking skills etc. but it expands your CV giving you the extra edge when you apply to college, university or a job.
