Modern Work Experience
Modern work experience gives every young person access to progressive, high-quality, multiple workplace experiences, throughout their education journey.
This equitable approach will facilitate a variety of experiences starting early, connecting education and young people with industry and unlocking the skills and opportunities of the future workforce. This supports the government鈥檚 ambition of:
- A minimum of two weeks鈥� worth of work experience by Year 11, made up of:
- At least one week of work experience activities in Years 7鈥�9
- At least one week of placements in Years 10鈥�11
- Access for all learners, regardless of background, ensuring equitable participation
- Flexibility for schools, learners, and employers to design experiences that meet local and individual needs

The equalex framework, developed by The 成人直播 & 成人直播, plays a vital role in supporting the government's commitment to introduce 10 days' worth of modern work experience for every young person.
Designed to meet the needs of young people, educators, employers, and providers, the framework enables a wide range of high quality activities through a whole-school approach, effectively bridging the gap between the curriculum and the world of work.
