Planning work experience can be tougher than you think. I was recently reflecting on the work experience I did while at university, and I got to thinking about the tasks I was able to complete for the companies I interned for and how it could have been improved.
I have also been in charge of looking after work experience interns a couple of times and it’s amazing how hard it is to fill up a week with tasks, job shadowing etc. without risk of leaving them idly sat at a computer or reading mounds of company literature.
I have written before about the benefits of work experience but this time I thought I would create a post for employers, about how to ensure the time an intern spends in a company is productive and beneficial.
