Animal Aspirations

EDUCATE. INSPIRE. DIVERSIFY.

'Animal Aspirations' began in January 2019 with the help of the Royal Veterinary College (RVC) Widening Participation team and is made up of a diverse group of vet students from various backgrounds.

The aim of the initiative is to engage students from diverse backgrounds through interactive animal and science-focused workshops. We also aim to promote diverse role models and break the stereotypes of the veterinary and other animal-related professions by having a positive online and social media presence. Our achievements have so far allowed us to reach out to children from various backgrounds, exposing them to the versatility, ingenuity and value of veterinary and animal-related professions.

Animal Aspirations provides a source of information and advice for young people wishing to pursue a career working with animals

EDUCATE

Animal Aspirations is a platform where young people are inspired to achieve their animal-related aspirations by providing them with positive diverse role models from veterinary and animal science backgrounds

INSPIRE

Animal Aspirations encourages people from ethnically diverse backgrounds to consider a career working with animals in a wide range of different fields

DIVERSIFY

THE LEADER IN WORLD-CLASS VIRTUAL WORK EXPERIENCE
Our aim as a charity is to level the playing field for young people across the UK when it comes to accessing high quality work experience to help them plan for their future careers. Many young people struggle to access traditional in-person work experience, especially those from harder to reach areas or from lower socio-economic backgrounds.
Through our Virtual Work Experience programme (VWEX), we remove the twin barriers of cost and geographical location for young people from state schools and colleges across the UK. This enables more young people to engage with employers to develop their understanding of the world of work in a meaningful way. It also allows employers to increase the number of placements they can run to accommodate a more diverse range of young people from any of the four UK nations.

Following the pandemic, demand for Virtual Work Experience has grown substantially and we are proud to be the only non-profit organisation operating at this scale to offer free UK-wide work experience. Going forwards, we can offer a hybrid solution for work experience, or a choice of online or on-site placements to provide maximum flexibility for both employers and young people.

Hear about Virtual Work Experience in the media

We invite employers, educators, careers leaders and young people to sign up for Virtual Work Experience today!

WHAT IS VIRTUAL WORK EXPERIENCE?

Virtual Work Experience (VWEX) is an online work experience placement offered by an employer to give students and young people the opportunity to experience the world of work remotely without having to travel to the employer's office or base.

FIND OUT MORE ABOUT VIRTUAL WORK EXPERIENCE

Why Virtual Work Experience?

Virtual Work Experience (VWEX) allows employers to deliver a variety of work experience opportunities online to young people without the need for participants to ever attend the physical workplace. Every online placement that Speakers for Schools offer is led by the employer and is hosted in a secure online setting so that young people can safely attend live presentations, participate in interactive and collaborative real-time tasks and activities, and 'meet' working professionals from the employer's organisation. Although some organisations offer self-learning work experience online, these are proven to fall short of delivering meaningful outcomes for young people. All Virtual Work Experience placements offered by Speakers for Schools meet the latest national standards for best practice for Virtual Work Experience in all UK regions, including Gatsby Benchmarks 5 and 6.

What is the background to our Virtual Work Experience programme?

Speakers for Schools launched its Virtual Work Experience (VWEX) programme to complement its existing in-person work experience programme shortly before the start of the pandemic. Since then, we have seen a massive surge in uptake and demand for Virtual Work Experience from young people, employers and educators.

What types of Virtual Work Experience placement do we offer?

At Speakers for Schools, we offer three types of Virtual Work Experience placements:

Discovery Days (1-2 hour sessions)

Virtual Insight Days (1-day taster session)

Work Experience (3-5-day structured programme)

All our Virtual Work Experience placements can be offered either by region, by country or UK-wide.
What do you do in virtual work experience?

The roles offered to students when taking part in virtual work experience placements can vary just as much as any in-person placement. However, one thing that is consistent is that we work very closely with educators and employers to ensure that students are matched with the right employers based on what both parties are looking for, helping to ensure more meaningful placements.

Do we offer virtual work experience for year 10?

At Speakers for Schools, we offer virtual work experience placements for young people aged 14-19, not just school leavers. While many schools offer online work experience in the summer term, our online work experience can be completed at any point in the year.

Does virtual work experience for year 11 interfere with exams?

Exams are a crucial part of school life, and we understand that students in key exam years are already extremely busy with revision and exam timetables. We work closely with our employers to ensure that we offer a wide selection of placements for all key year groups throughout the year so that students sitting final exams are still able to participate in the online work experience programme at other points throughout the academic year.

What are the benefits of our year 12 work experience online programme?

As students leave for higher education, apprenticeships or work placements, work experience placements aren't often at the forefront of their mind. However, competitive markets for their next stage in life can lead to difficulty achieving the desired opportunity. Virtual work experience for year 12s can provide the advantage many school leavers need, while also boosting their confidence and providing inspiration for their career path with virtual work experience placements.

Virtual work experience for year 13, is there a deadline?

Our online work experience programme is currently available to any student or young person aged between 14 and 19 who attends a school or college registered with Speakers for Schools. No previous experience is required to apply.

Do Speakers for Schools provide law work experience?

We cater for students looking for online work experience opportunities in numerous sectors and industries, including law. We provide everything from engineering work experience to medical work experience opportunities for young people aged 14-19 (typically years 10 through to 13 in England and Wales, years 11 through to 14 in Northern Ireland and S4 through to S6 in Scotland.) We are constantly working with current and new employers to provide the widest range of virtual work experience placements for young people.

Is work experience for 15 year-olds (and younger) available?

While online work experience is typically completed by young people aged 15 and above, Speakers for Schools offers placements for young people from the age of 14. Employers define the age range for any placement that they host and the age category for each placement is flagged clearly on the placement details to ensure that a young person can see whether a placement is suitable for them. Each online work experience is designed to be as engaging as possible and young people are encouraged to interact with their peers as part of the planned activities. As young people will be at different stages in their development depending on their age, they will only ever be placed with young people of a similar age.

Can you put virtual work experience on your C.V.?

We highly recommend putting virtual work experience on your C.V. Virtual work experience programmes are seen by employers as just as credible as in-person work placements. When a candidate shows they have completed an online work experience programme, not only are they showing relevant skills and experience, but also a passion and willingness within the sector.

Placements

Offering young people the opportunity to gain professional development by working in industry

​We help place school leavers and undergraduates with companies across the UK every year. The programme lasts for 10 -12 months (typically 12 months) and is a paid placement.

​

​The Year in Industry has vacancies with companies working in technology, computing, science, engineering, business, marketing and finance across the UK - from leading FTSE 100 companies to small innovative start-ups. Around a quarter of all our students will secure university sponsorship each year or return to guaranteed vacation work with their host company. Many of our partner companies see The Year in Industry as an important part of their graduate recruitment programme or an introduction to a future apprentice.

YINI is accredited at Industrial Cadets Platinum level.

​

Click here to find out how you can achieve other Industrial Cadets levels.

What will be involved?

You will be employed by an EDT partner company and work on projects that will enable you to gain valuable work experience and develop professional skills that employers are looking for. You will receive full support from The Year in Industry through a volunteer mentoring service and the Placements Team for the duration of your placement year.

How it works

1. Student submits application to YINI via web site and satisfies eligibility to work in the UK requirement.There is no fee for the student.

2. Student completes EDT telephone interview prior to full acceptance on the scheme.

3. Companies approach us outlining the kinds of roles they have / students they are looking for.

4. EDT Placements team will search the registered students' database to find suitable matches for companies and forward relevant CVs to the company. In some cases, we will contact universities / schools for specific candidates.

5. The company will identify which students they would like to interview and when.

6. The EDT will arrange and confirm interviews with students on behalf of the company.

7. The company will interview the student and decide whether they want to offer a placement to the student. If they do the EDT will relay the offer to the student.

8. Once an offer is accepted, The EDT will assign a volunteer mentor to the student / company.

9. Upon the student commencing their placement, the EDT will invoice the company for the placement fee.

​

Who is it for?

YINI is a resource for undergraduates and for school leavers (post A-Level/Higher/Advanced Higher or equivalents) who are looking for paid work placements within technology, computing, science, engineering and business (including finance, data analytics/science, marketing and economics).

Students can apply to the programme during their university studies for their industrial year out, or in their final year of A levels/ Highers/ Advanced Highers or equivalent study, for a year's work experience prior to going to university or as a year to help decide on the future direction of their career - be that higher apprenticeship, university or work, or during their degree course itself.
