Hi if you’re unsure I would recommend signing up to young professionals as they host a number of events trailer to different career pathways e.g. finance. Also when you get to y12 be on the look out for Sutton Trust Pathways or Summer school. They have one for different careers and you basically get work experience in the pathway of your choosing and a mentor. Having LinkdIn is important as well as you can find out about experiences more specific to something you may want to do

hi @xoaishaa !

A good way to find companies/businesses you might want to do work experience for is LinkedIn -https://www.linkedin.com/home. I am in my second year of university and I used this to find people/places I wanted to work for. I then found their email through their websites attached on their LinkedIn pages and sent each company a personalised email saying how I was looking for work experience, the hours I was looking to fill and that I would ideally liked to be payed but am open to discussion.

However, writing personal emails to every single company can take a long time so you could either write a more generalised one that you can send out to a wide range of companies or use AI tools to help you quickly tweak and personalise each email to that particular company. Even though you are in year 12 I think this method should work for you as well.

Hopefully this is helpful and good luck with your search
