@Chrissy@mountains.social Finding meaningful work experience at that age is really difficult - so few opportunities. My son is in Year 13 (going to university to study mech eng) and last year he printed off his (brief) CV and my wife drove him to a few local business parks. She sat in the car, he walked around (looking up companies on his phone), rang buzzers and just chatted to people. It was incredibly brave of him, but he did get four days at a company. I can't say it was amazing, but it was something.

@elmuesli@mastodon.online Thanks, we will also do that but there aren't a lot of engineering companies local to where we are.
