Operating since 2008, Cumbria Work Experience is a dedicated work-related learning and placement coordination service helping young people across Cumbria achieve their full potential. We bridge the gap between local schools and employers by managing a secure, real-time online work experience database alongside professional workplace health and safety vetting.

Designed for students, parents, school work experience coordinators, and local authority administrators, our platform enables students to browse and apply directly for vetted employer vacancies while allowing coordinators to allocate and track school placements. We also provide practical guidance and introductory resources to prepare young people, families, and host businesses for safe, meaningful first experiences of the workplace.
