Often, work experience placements can reflect and reproduce patterns of inequality with students from economically disadvantaged areas having significantly less access to the benefits of ‘professional placements’. The NEIC Work Experience Placement Programme is a conscious effort to buck this trend and is one strand in a coordinated effort to open doors, raise awareness and aspirations and ultimately to provide students in the NEIC with access to and insight into professions and career paths outside their existing network.
