The nature of work experience has also changed a lot in recent years. Students increasingly need opportunities that work for them; experiences that connect them with the right information, and employers, at the right time.

This is where Springpod’s experiences can have such a profound impact. From Virtual Work Experiences with top health and care organisations to Subject Spotlights with leading universities and world-class academics, students can build their experience and explore subject interests so they can make informed decisions about their next steps.

At Springpod, all experiences are self-led and flexible. They vary in length but can be completed at times that suit your students. Each experience comes with a certificate of completion, which is a great addition to CVs. Over 500,000 students are using Springpod to complete exciting experiences which build experience, develop skills, and strengthen future applications.

Springpod’s experiences usually take 2-8 hours to complete and are open to all students aged 13 and above. Completely free, they offer students an opportunity to connect with leading organisations to help them understand what opportunities exist.

As a teacher, it can be helpful to explain to students the benefits of work experience and the convenience of virtual work experiences with Springpod. Being able to fit the experiences around their lives rather than committing to a week allows them to see work experience in a different light—one that can really impact their future.

As a teacher, wondering how to help your students with their future can be challenging. With so many options available and ever-changing career and academic landscapes, it can be incredibly difficult to know where to start. One thing has remained constant—the importance of experience and the impact this can have on a student's decisions about their future.
