First of all - take a deep breath.
Feeling nervous about your work experience week is completely normal. In fact, it means you care, and that’s a great place to start. Whether you’re excited, unsure, or just wondering what to expect, know this: you’re not alone, and you’re going to be just fine.
This week is all about discovering what you’re capable of. You’ll meet new people, try new things, and maybe even surprise yourself. You don’t need to know everything already - no one expects that. What matters most is showing up with curiosity, a willingness to learn, and being yourself. That’s more than enough.
To help you feel a bit more prepared (and excited!), we’ve put together a short video featuring students who’ve just completed their own work experience week. They’ve been exactly where you are now - and they’ve got some brilliant stories, tips, and honest thoughts to share.
🎥 Take a few minutes to watch it - you might just see yourself in their words.
