Work experience isn't just good for young people.

It's good for business.

Employers who engage with young people can:
✔️ Build future talent pipelines
✔️ Improve social impact
✔️ Strengthen employer brand
✔️ Increase employee engagement
✔️ Support local communities

Small interventions today can have long-term benefits for both young people and organisations.

What could your organisation gain from engaging with future talent?

21/07/2026

Behind every statistic is a young person whose confidence, aspirations and future have been positively influenced by work experience.

These voices remind us why opportunities like work experience and employer engagement matter.

Thank you to every single employer helping create opportunities for young people.

Alongside traditional work experience placements, modern work experience gives employers another way to engage with young people through project-based challenges, without the need to host students in the workplace.

For employers, it's:
✔️ Flexible
✔️ Scalable
✔️ Low time commitment
✔️ A chance to connect with a wider talent pool

For young people, it provides:
✔️ Real-world challenges
✔️ Valuable industry insight
✔️ Portfolio-ready evidence of their skills
✔️ Increased confidence
✔️ Opportunities to explore different careers

Whether you choose a traditional placement or modern work experience, you'll be helping young people develop the skills, confidence and experience they need for the future.

Interested in supporting a modern work experience project or a traditional placement? Drop us a message; we'd love to chat ☺️

Traditional work experience isn't always accessible for everyone.

Some students face challenges including:
🔹 Anxiety
🔹 Mental health concerns
🔹 SEND needs
🔹 Caring responsibilities
🔹 Long travel distances
🔹 Limited local opportunities

Modern work experience projects create a more inclusive model.

Students can work on real employer-set challenges, gain meaningful workplace insights and develop employability skills in a way that suits their circumstances.

Could your organisation create a real workplace challenge for students? We'd love to hear from you! Drop us a message

Technical skills matter.

But employers consistently tell us that communication, teamwork and reliability are just as important.

Work experience helps young people develop:

✔️ Communication
✔️ Professional behaviour
✔️ Teamwork
✔️ Time management
✔️ Problem-solving

These are the skills that support successful transitions into employment.

Which employability skill do you value most when recruiting?

07/07/2026

"I enjoyed meeting new people as well as adapting to a new environment that's out of my comfort zone and it helped me develop new skills as well as gaining confidence."

Confidence is often the first thing young people gain when on work experience.

For many students, stepping into a workplace is the first opportunity to:

🤝 Meet professionals
👥 Work as part of a team
🙋 Take responsibility
🗣️ Communicate with new people

These experiences help young people believe in themselves and their potential.

We would love to hear you share your Work Experience Story in the comments

You Could Be The Person Who Changes A Young Person's Future

Many young people have never met someone working in the career they aspire to.

By offering work experience, employers can:
✓ Raise aspirations
✓ Build confidence
✓ Provide real-world insights
✓ Develop future talent pipelines
✓ Support social mobility

The Alan Milburn report highlighted the importance of professional networks and workplace exposure in improving life chances.

Work experience helps young people access experiences and connections they may not otherwise have.

Could your organisation host a placement or support a project?

🌟 𝗝𝘂𝗹𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵🌟

Work experience can be a defining moment in a young person's journey.

It provides opportunities to explore career pathways, build confidence and develop workplace skills, all whilst gaining a better understanding of the world of work.

For many young people, it can be the experience that helps them discover their future career, or helps them to make informed decisions about their next steps and realise their potential.

Throughout July, we'll be celebrating the impact of work experience by sharing student stories, employer insights and the difference these opportunities can make.

A huge thank you to the employers and organisations who continue to invest their time and expertise in supporting the next generation.

Every young person deserves the chance to feel confident about their future. No matter what their background, circumstances or starting point is.

At NYBEP, we believe that opportunity should never depend on who you know, where you come from, or how confident you feel today. That's why we work to connect young people with meaningful experiences, supportive employers, and opportunities that help them see what's possible.

Because when young people can see themselves in the world of work:
💫 Confidence grows
💫 Doors open
💫 Futures feel achievable.

Our new strapline 'Turning Potential into Possibility' reflects our commitment to sharing fairer access to opportunities and helping every young persons step into their future with self-belief.

Together, we can build a future where all young people feel they belong.
