Can anyone arrange 3 days of work experience for a neighbour's daughter at the start of July?

She needs to arrange 3 days of work experience as part of her A-level course. More precisely, it's supposed to be "work shadowing" - she would accompany somebody on a day-to-day basis, seeing how an IT dept works. She wants to go into IT in the future, once she's finished her A-levels and degree.

She's a smart girl, and a good laugh, so would be no problem for the 3 days. The question is, can anyone (preferably in the City, so she can travel up with me) arrange for her to do this at their company?

I can arrange a copy of a covering letter and CV if necessary.

Thanks

Mark

Surely somebody here must work in the City and be able to at least ask if there's a potential for work experience? It's only 3 days FFS!!!

Mark,

It might be worth contacting the HR departments of some of the large banks directly. I presume this is as more of a supervised visitor rather than a payed position?.

Cheers,

Oops double post.

Yes, it's a supervised position, and would be unpaid. It would literally involve shadowing the person in question, and seeing what they do, day-to-day, for 3 days.

Jemma has been/will be contacting some of the big companies, but I just figured that since there's a lot of people here who work in IT, there's a good chance somebody might be able to help.

Try our various english offices. KPMG invest highly in that sort of thing as it looks good for us.

Got any contacts?

Should give them something to do as well. And now you see we sit for hours looking at Scoobynet
