Petition Action

Reintroduce mandatory work experience for students aged between 14 and 16.

Petition Details

As of 2012, state-funded schools in England are not subject to a specific duty to arrange work experience for pupils of compulsory school age; until 2012, maintained schools were under a duty to provide work-related learning at Key Stage 4.

Additional Information

In the 2016 Employers Perspective Survey, 65% of employers reported that relevant work experience was a critical or significant factor when recruiting.

In 2017, in the Youth Parliament's annual youth consultation, Make Your Mark, 121,695 young people voted for the creation of a work experience hub for 11-18 year olds.
