Work experience is really important for building the perfect job application and preparing yourself for the working world. So what on earth do we do during a pandemic? You’re probably thinking ‘Most people are working from home so surely they aren’t going to let me do any hands-on work experience?!’

Don’t panic! Our Aimhigher team have created a short PDF to help you with how you can build those important skills in the current climate. It’s also important to remember that this is a global pandemic…everyone is in the same boat and employers will be mindful of this!
