Work eperience-Should choices be based around a future career or enjoyment?

[Sanelli 10]

When choosing work experience, should the child choose there placement on a competitor for a future career or for a week working in something they enjoy doing?

[ChrisTodd 10]

Ideally both. But if they dont know what they want to do then finding something they have an interest in or liking for is good.

 

In an ideal world everyone would have a job in a area they enjoy.

[Billinge 10]

Speaking from personal experience, certainly a child should try and have a future career in mind, even though this is likely to change in the future.

A child? I thought the Work Placement Scheme was only available to unemployed people aged between 18 -24 years old. That's what Jobcentre Plus told me recently.

Work Experience is for school kids! They go to experience the world of work for two weeks as preperation for when they leave school.
