  Work experience is arguably one of the greatest unsung chances for building a bridge between school and work. For many young people, time spent in placement can seem no better than a chore. At worse they can feel undervalued, and the whole experience may seem like a waste of time.
  Some qualifications, such as apprenticeships place a far greater focus on the value of placements outside the classroom.
  How could businesses and schools collaborate to improve work experience for learners>?
