Work experience

You'll probably do work experience at some point during year 10 or 11. It's a great chance to get a taste of a job and see what skills employers are looking for.

Work experience can really help if you're still wondering what sort of career you want to do. It's your opportunity to spend a period of time outside the classroom, learning about a particular job or area of work.
