Virtual Work Experience

Historic England is pleased to offer a virtual work experience programme for young people aged 15 and over. The programme is designed to give delegates an insight into the wonderful careers available within heritage.

Our Virtual Work Experience Programme ‘Careers in Heritage with Historic England’, in partnership with Spingpod, is available ‘on demand’. Registrations can be made at any time, with the programme being accessible all year round.

The programme is made up of seven modules. Each module consists of a case study, an individual activity and a quiz, all designed to help students embed their learning effectively and really experience working with us. One of the exciting advantages of this programme is that it can also be accessed at your own convenience, so students can complete modules in their own time and at their own pace.
