Can virtual experiences really be meaningful?
This workshop will provide insight into Springpod's virtual work experiences. You will learn how the content is designed to make these experiences as meaningful as possible for the young people participating. With the growth of virtual experiences, we will consider whether we need to rethink our approach to the traditional work experience.
We will share ideas on incorporating these experiences into careers programmes and consider how virtual experiences can be part of a progressive programme of employer encounters providing numerous opportunities throughout the year to support career decision-making.
