Year 10 2026 Work Experience
Attention Year 10 students (2026)!
Next year, you’ll have the exciting opportunity to take part in work experience - a valuable chance to explore possible career pathways and gain hands-on workplace skills. The holidays are a great time to start thinking about what you might like to do and where you would like to go.
Take some time to reflect on your interests and strengths. Which industries or roles appeal to you? Do you have a career in mind? Begin researching local businesses, organisations, or volunteer opportunities that align with your interests. Work experience is an opportunity to learn about the world of work, build confidence, and gain insight into potential future pathways, so choose something that will motivate and challenge you.
Start planning now so you are ready to make the most of your work experience, which will take place in the last week of Term 2.
It’s never too early to start looking - so get started today!
