Year 12 work experience!!

5

Hi!. I am a year 12 student currently studying computer science, maths, and physics for my A levels and I'm really struggling to find some work experience for 6th-10th July.
I'd prefer to do something technology based as I'd like to go into a cybersecurity or software engineering field in the future, but I understand it is difficult to find work experience in these sectors, and really anything relevant to my a levels will do!
If anyone has any suggestions of who I can contact in the London area for this, I'd be very grateful! 😭😭

Have you tried local companies?

Thank you for replying! I have been asking around locally and many people have said it is unlikely that I will get work experience in this sort of sector as a year 12, or they're unable to offer anything to me, and so I'm trying to find companies that have offered work experience in the past to people my age in order to have a better chance at finding some. Would you know of any companies?

You can try Trackr: https://app.the-trackr.com/uk-finance/pre-university - it may not strictly be technology, but it doesn't hurt to ask the companies listed.

I guess you've also asked family and friends as well?

Thanks, I'll check it out. Yeah I've asked family and friends but their sectors of work is nothing to do with what I want to do.
