| Unifrog Courses tool and Virtual Work Experience Week Unifrog’s Courses tool provides students with engaging taster courses of subjects and careers, produced in collaboration with universities and employers. On-demand courses are written especially for KS3–5 to challenge and help them make informed decisions about their future. Teachers can assign courses, track signups, and monitor progress. Through this tool, Unifrog’s Virtual Work Experience Week is hosted by five employers, giving students realistic experiences of harder-to-access sectors and workplace tasks to develop their key employability skills. This also provides more equitable access to work experience for disadvantaged students who have less financial and social capital to secure in-person placements. |
