Default Work Experience.

Ino some schools/colleges including mine has "work experience" when your in year 10, just wondering to those who own shops etc do you let people work and join with you through work experience, just curious to see how many actually do this. personally i think its a realy good opertunity for peeps, i think i might start looking around locally for a reptile shop that takes on work experience's.

A lot of shops do. Some schools can have different requirements to others though. We had a lad apply for work experience and he brought me a form to fill in for him, which I did - but the school said we did not meet the requirements to be able to take work experience from them, but provided me with no information as to exactly in what area we were lacking!
