Modern Work Experience

The Government’s work experience ambition is an equitable approach that will facilitate a variety of experiences for learners starting early, connecting education and young people with industry and unlocking the skills and opportunities of the future workforce.

From September 2026, all schools should be reforming their work experience programmes providing a minimum of two weeks’ worth of work experience by Year 11 (during Key Stages 3 and 4), made up of:

• At least one week of work experience activities in Years 7–9
• At least one week of placements in Years 10–11

This ambition will ensure access for all young people, enable flexibility for schools, learners, and employers to design experiences that meet local and individual needs.
