Course overview

Are you struggling to get in-person work experience? Do you want to know more about what it's really like to work in different sectors like Marketing, Product design, Finance or Care? If so, this Digital Work Experience course could be exactly what you're looking for.

This Digital Work Experience course allows you to gain work experience, digitally, from wherever you are and whichever device you use. With 18 work experiences to choose from you can complete real tasks from a variety of different sectors including Brand and Marketing, Human Resources, Customer Experience, Catering, Sales, Care and many more. Each experience is designed to be completed within two to four hours, giving you an opportunity to develop your employability skills and knowledge in that field, as well as a tangible experience you can add to your CV or next interview!

In each experience, we delve into what it is like to work for this company, sector and team, with videos from their CEOs and department leaders. You will then learn more about the company context and the task(s) they would like you to complete, which could range from creating a presentation to engage new audiences to designing a daily menu for a nursery.

We have worked with a range of external companies to develop these experiences and are proud to offer experiences with a range of employers including the Money and Pensions Service, Busy Bees nurseries, YPO, One Housing, as well teams from within Reed.

This Digital Work Experience course is part of a five-step work readiness programme called ‘Gateway to work’, designed to help students like you navigate the challenging journey from education to the workplace.
