Pre-16 Work Experience in England and Wales
Work experience is an influential form of link between education and employment for young people at school. Over 500,000 students go out of school into workplaces for up to three weeks in the last year of their compulsory education.

It is based on a national survey of work experience co-ordinators, supplemented by detailed case studies in six parts of the UK.
Employers' Perspectives on Improving Skills for Employment
A strong skill base is an important element of a productive and sustainable economy. The Department for Education and Skills spends around £6.7 billion on skills training in England, with an additional £23.7 billion being spent by employers.

Employers' Views of Education Business Links
The development of links between education and business are an important part of the government's drive to improve skill levels and the nation's competitiveness.
