A work experience placement is a great way to get your foot in the door.

Discover a range of opportunities for young people aged 16 to 24 years old and, in some cases, people aged 25 and over without recent or relevant work history.

You can choose from a day taster, work shadowing, weekend placements, weeklong placements, or even school holiday placements.

Find vacancies in sectors such as healthcare, creative industries, engineering, digital technology, manufacturing, finance, hospitality, education and more.

The employers listed on our search page have added their details as they are happy to consider providing a work experience opportunity. Please use the details provided by the employer to contact them. Bucks Skills Hub provide these details to help people find a suitable work experience placement. We have not verified these employers and it is important that you do your own research to ensure they will provide a suitable placement opportunity for you.
