Speakers 4 Schools aims to provide a level playing field by connecting young people to high quality virtual work placements.
Through our Virtual Work Experience programme (VWEX), Speakers 4 Schools removes the twin barriers of cost and geographical location for young people from state schools and colleges across the UK. This enables more young people to engage with employers to develop their understanding of the world of work in a meaningful way. It also allows employers to increase the number of placements they can run to accommodate a more diverse range of young people from any of the four UK nations.
