Work experience at the Met Office

Work experience at the Met Office

An introduction to the Met Office

The Met Office work experience programme consists of two distinct phases. The first is an online work experience. This stand-alone programme is available to all UK-based students aged between 13 and 18, and all who register are guaranteed a place. As part of this programme, you'll explore typical roles in the Met Office through a series of videos, projects and webinars and learn all about the common skills and qualifications needed to pursue a range of careers, from Forecasting, Engineering and Data Science to Cyber Security, and Customer & Stakeholder Management. Following completion of the online programme, you can apply for a second phase of work experience - a two to three day in-person placement, for which limited places are available.

Current in-person opportunities

Forecasting your Future (online work experience)

We've teamed up with Springpod, a specialist careers platform, to offer a fascinating insight into the work of the Met Office. This online work experience is designed to develop your knowledge and skills and provides the opportunity for you to tap into individualised support from Met Office staff across the organisation via an online chat system. The online programme can be completed across a work experience week or at any other time of the year, with the bulk of your time spent on exciting work-related projects. Once you've finished the programme, if you'd like to find out more about a career at the Met Office, we encourage you to apply for our in-person work experience programme.

Am I eligible to apply?
To apply for in-person work experience, you must have completed 'Forecasting Your Future', the Met Office online work experience programme. You'll also be in one of the following academic year groups at the time of the placement:

England and Wales. Years 10, 11, 12 or 13 (up to 31st August)
Northern Ireland. Years 11, 12, 13 or 14 (up to 31st August)
Scotland. S3, S4, S5 or S6 (up to 31st August)

Finally, you must be studying in the UK, either in formal education or being home-schooled.

Current opportunities

The application procedure for an in-person placement is based on our Met Office job application process, to give you experience of what it is like to apply for a job vacancy with us. Please be aware that you'll need to submit all the work-based assignments you completed during the online work experience, as part of your application. So, please make sure you have them downloaded and ready to attach. Our in-person placements are highly sought-after, so the more effort you put into these assignments, the more likely you are to be offered an in-person placement.

Hear what some of our previous students have said:
"Having a set of diverse doctors who specialise in all different fields was really nice and refreshing to see as it highlighted to me that regardless of your background and socio-economic background you can still do medicine and succeed. Dr A who had a similar background to me gave me hope that I can still do medicine regardless of my background as she stated, 'anyone can be a doctor'."
"Throughout the work experience I was aware of the challenges facing doctors when working long hours and facing stressful situations. But speaking to the doctors and hearing them about overcoming these obstacles, really inspired me. I understand that a career in medicine will not be easy but after my work experience, I am even more determined and motivated to pursue a career in this rewarding field." Fizra
"Not everyone who studied medicine is interested in becoming a doctor. Some want to go into public health, etc. But nonetheless any specialty/sector is extremely important. Beforehand I was closed off to anything but surgery whereas now I am more open to subspecialties like radiology and even research!" "The best part of this course was the ward round sessions and the speed of networking with clinicians. I enjoyed round ward sessions with Dr A because I learned a lot from how he spoke to patients about their health and communicated very clearly and effectively with them. I also got an insight into the preparations before and after a patient is spoken to by a doctor." Husna
"I have built my confidence and communication skills a lot more due mostly to the 3rd day when we had to go to the University and work together, communicate with each other and solve problems, there was a lot of teamwork where everyone had to take part and share their thoughts and opinions." Fiza
"This experience has made me step out of my comfort zone, so I believe this experience has helped me develop more communication skills and it has given me more motivation to be able to work hard to get good grades." "I feel like medicine is less scary than it is made out to be. There are people constantly helping you along the way and no one is trying to bring you down."
"All the sessions were very detailed and informative. They covered all the questions I had regarding admissions and medicine. I feel a lot less stressed regarding getting into med school." Sidra

"I was delighted to see that we were provided with a prayer place and was glad to know that there is a prayer place for everyone in the university" Husna

Master the art of writing standout cover letters with these five essential tips to boost your job application success.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
When an application asks for a cover letter, it's not just a box-ticking exercise. It could genuinely be the difference between landing an interview and watching your application disappear into the void.

So how do you make sure yours hits the mark? We've pulled together five practical tips to help you craft a cover letter that actually gets you noticed.

Understanding what a cover letter actually is

Before we dive into the tips, let's get clear on what we're working with. A cover letter is essentially your chance to introduce yourself in a one-page document that sits alongside your CV. It's where you showcase your key skills and strengths whilst explaining why you're genuinely interested in this specific role at this particular company.

The crucial bit? It shouldn't be a carbon copy of your CV or a generic letter you fire off to every employer. Each cover letter needs to be tailored to the job you're applying for, demonstrating how your unique mix of skills and experience makes you the right fit for what they're looking for.

1. Do your homework on the company

Lots of job applicants fall down by writing one standard cover letter and attaching it to every application. It's understandable - job hunting is exhausting - but this approach rarely works in your favour.

Taking the time to research the company and address your letter to the actual hiring manager (not just "To whom it may concern") shows you've made an effort. Mention something specific about the organisation - perhaps a recent project they've launched or values they champion that resonate with you. This demonstrates genuine interest rather than a scattergun approach to job applications.

2. Highlight experience that actually matters

Your cover letter isn't an autobiography. You've only got one page, so be strategic about what you include. Focus on experiences that directly relate to the role you're after.

Applying for a position that requires excellent communication skills? Talk about that time you coordinated a charity event or mediated between different groups in a team project. Going for something administrative? Mention relevant office experience, even if it was just helping out during school holidays. The key is relevance over quantity.

3. Showcase the skills you've developed

Employers aren't just interested in what you've done - they want to know what you learned and how you grew from those experiences. Even if you've thought you may never have worked in the specific field you're applying to, you've likely developed transferable skills through other activities.

Perhaps you've demonstrated leadership through captaining a sports team, shown initiative through volunteering, or developed problem-solving abilities through coursework. These skills matter, and your cover letter is the perfect place to connect the dots between your experiences and what the employer needs.

4. Keep things positive and confident

If you're early in your career or switching fields, it's easy to fall into the trap of apologising for what you lack. Don't do this. Dwelling on limited experience just draws attention to gaps whilst offering nothing positive in return.

Instead, frame things constructively. Rather than "Although I don't have much experience in...", try "I'm eager to apply my skills in... to this new context." It's about showing enthusiasm and potential rather than fixating on what you haven't done yet. Remember, everyone starts somewhere, and employers often value attitude and aptitude as much as existing experience.

5. Polish until it shines

Your cover letter is often the first impression an employer gets of you, so it needs to be spot-on. This means going beyond a quick spell-check. Read it aloud to catch awkward phrasing. Check that your tone strikes the right balance between professional and personable. Make sure every sentence earns its place.

It's worth asking someone else to read it too - they'll spot errors you've become blind to and can give feedback on whether your personality comes through. Those extra rounds of editing might feel tedious, but they're what separate a good cover letter from a great one.

Next steps: Building your complete application

Now that you've got your cover letter sorted, you're well on your way to submitting a strong application. But the cover letter is just one piece of the puzzle - your resume needs just as much attention.

If you're unsure where to start with your CV or want to make sure it complements your cover letter effectively, we're here to help. Check out check out more tips on our resumes and CVs page for step-by-step advice, or try our super simple resume builder to create a professional-looking CV in minutes. With a solid cover letter and CV working together, you'll be putting your best foot forward in your job search.

When you apply for this event, we use the information you give us to check if you meet the requirements set by the employer. If your application is successful, we will share your first name, last name, and your parent or guardian's mobile number with the employer. We may also include any dietary or medical information you choose to share during your application to help keep you safe.

We use this information to make sure the event is safe and runs smoothly. All the information we share with the employer is sent securely in protected files and deleted after the event is over.

If the employer needs any extra information about you, we will always ask for your clear permission first. This means you must say 'yes' before we share anything.
Photography and videography consent
At any Uptree event, including online ones using video conferencing, we and the employer hosting the event might take photos or videos to share in marketing materials. This means the pictures or videos could appear on our website, social media, in press releases, or other places to help more people learn about Uptree. We might also share these photos with the employer hosting the event, so they can use them too.

By signing up for an event with Uptree, you are giving us and the employer permission to take and use photos of you. If you don't want us to take photos of you, please email us with your name and the event name at educationteam@uptree.co.

If you'd like to share your experience on LinkedIn or other social media, you're welcome to take photos at the in-person events! Just make sure to be professional, ask permission before taking pictures of other people or employer volunteers, and only take photos at appropriate times so you don't interrupt the event.

For online events, screenshots aren't ever allowed. This helps keep everyone's privacy safe, which is really important. Don't worry-after the event, we'll send out some great photos that you can share on social media. We'll make sure everyone in the pictures is happy to be included!
Marketing and feedback consent
After every Uptree event, we ask for feedback through a short, anonymous survey. This helps us improve our events and services. Sometimes, we also use the feedback in our marketing, which means your comments might appear on our website, social media, or in press releases to help people learn about Uptree.

Your feedback will always stay anonymous-this means no one will know it was you who gave the feedback. We might also share the feedback with the employer who hosted the event so they can make their events better and use it in their own marketing.

By filling out the feedback form, you're giving Uptree permission to use your comments and share them with employers, but your name will never be included unless we obtain your permission in writing. If you would prefer not to share your feedback, then that is absolutely fine and will not affect your ability to participate in Uptree events, just let your Event Host know on the day.

Here is the link to our Privacy Notice where you can remind yourself how we collect and process your data.

If you'd like to make a difference in your job, then a green career could be for you. Choosing a green career can help you to have a positive impact on the environment through the work that you do.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Many jobs can make a positive impact on the environment in different ways. Any career that helps the UK work towards net zero could be considered a green career.

Importance of green careers

The UK government aims to reach net zero in all sectors of the economy by 2050. Net zero means the amount of greenhouse gas we take out of the environment is the same as the amount we produce. You can read more about the Net Zero Strategy.

A green career lets you learn new skills in different industries whilst helping to protect the future of the planet.

Green careers that directly tackle climate change

Some careers directly tackle climate change. Here are a few examples of green careers and some of the ways they help the environment.

You could research more careers that directly tackle climate change, working in areas like environment and land,  science and  engineering.

Green careers and employers in all industries

If a green career is important to you, you could look for opportunities with companies that care about the environment.

You can look on a company's website to find out what they're doing to become more sustainable.

There are also some careers that do not directly tackle climate change, but where you could still make a positive impact on the environment.

Here are a few jobs in different industries and some examples of ways they could help the environment. You can also explore more careers in all industries.

Green skills and qualifications

You'll need different skills and qualifications for any green career.

If you need to learn a new skill or get a qualification, you can find a course. You might be able to get a free qualification if you're eligible.

If you're over 19, you might be able to do a free Skills Bootcamp in green skills. These include courses such as domestic retrofitting installation and electrical vehicle maintenance.

You might want to learn about identifying your skills and upskilling.

You might already have transferable skills like communication, project management or leadership. Or you might need specific technical skills and qualifications.

Speak to an adviser about green careers

If you want a green career but are not sure what's best for you, a careers adviser can help.

They can help you to explore your options and find a green career that's the right fit for you.

In addition to a dedicated supervisor at Kennedys, you will have a tutor and skills coach to ensure that you have all the support you need at work and with your studies.
