## Description

Work Experience \(WEX\) declined dramatically over the Covid period and is still very limited\. Young people are often ill prepared for work experience and do not fully benefit from the opportunities\. All 4 of EBP's key departments; Careers, Projects, Events and Work Experience, partner consistently and on a large-scale with Kent employers\. EBP have developed numerous sessions, projects and initiatives\. Work produced by EBP Kent within the areas of Projects, Work Experience and Events are subject to an evaluative process that links the results to the Gatsby Benchmarks framework\. This is to not only adhere to Ofsted requirements and the evidence each school must produce, but also for improvement, efficacy and evolution
