It would definitely help give learners exposure to work experience as part of their WRA activities which ofsted want to see. However I don't think you could use as an actual placement as you need to show employer agreement, employment days/times etc, reviews and exit reviews.

Virtual work experience - Post 16 Study Programme
Created
Can anyone help me to locate further guidance around the potential use of virtual work experience with a post 16 study programme for learners with SEN, a colleague has discussed Springpod as a possible suitable virtual opportunity where internal simulated or external placements are not suitable or do not align to the student course, aspirations & goals etc.
From the guidance it states: Work experience is a key component of 16 to 19 study programmes. The term work experience refers to all forms of work-related activity
However I cannot see it saying explicitly anywhere if this must be in person/face to face with the placement provider.
Thank you
