What should I do during work experience to make the experience worth while?

To make work experience worthwhile, approach it like a real job by being punctual, professional and enthusiastic, while showing curiosity and a willingness to get involved. Ask questions to understand different roles, skills and career paths, and take every opportunity to help with tasks, observe meetings or work as part of a team. Focus on developing essential employability skills such as communication, teamwork and time management, and pay attention to workplace culture and behaviour. Finally, reflect on what you’ve learned, keep notes you can use for future applications, and thank the people who supported you, as building positive connections can be just as valuable as the experience itself.
