I’m just sending a final reminder that all of Springpod’s April virtual work experience programmes are closing their application windows this Monday (March 29th). There are over 20 programmes which are completely free for students (and always will be). They include everything from politics and journalism, to fashion and engineering. They can be completed at time that suits your students and offer a certificate great for CVs, cover letters and interviews upon completion. The programmes are open to applications from students in Year 10-13 and will run between April 6th and 16th. You can view all of our April programmes here Please do share these with your students so that they can get their applications in whilst there is still time! Best wishes, Sam P.S. I put a PDF together with all the programmes in case that was easier to share. You can view it here
