Organising Army Work Experience
Work Experience & Army Engagement
British Army work experience gives students hands-on exposure to teamwork, leadership, problem-solving and confidence-building in a structured, supervised environment.
Teachers can use this page to understand what a placement involves, how students are supported, and what they can expect. It also covers options to engage with the Army through school visits, virtual sessions and workshops delivered by Army professionals, while showing how these activities support Gatsby Benchmark 6 by providing meaningful encounters with workplaces.
Work Experience With a Difference
Students keen to explore careers in the British Army can book onto our FREE four-day residential work experience. For 14-18 year olds, the programme develops teamwork, leadership, confidence and resilience.
This is a great way for students to get a taste of Army life and fully appreciate the wealth of career opportunities.
A 1 day work experience is available and may be offered if the 4 day is booked up or not available due to training and accommodation on site.
