The Institute of Acoustics is in the process of organising a virtual work experience for up to 1000 GCSE and A-Level students. Unlike traditional workplace work experience, the virtual environment will provide an overview of the acoustics industry, an opportunity to engage with a large number of students from anywhere in the UK and a window to show young people the huge range of careers in acoustics. Through this initiative it is hoped that we will be able to inspire a pipeline of future acousticians. The work experience has been designed to run over two weeks, for 1 hour a day, and will include engaging content like videos, games, activities and live webinars. The modules will cover careers in consultancy, research, local authority, medical science, music and technology, and will cover the range of career pathways into our industry. This paper outlines the collaborative approach taken in creating and curating the virtual work experience programme. It gives an insight into structuring an inclusive and exciting experience for students and discusses the lessons learned from attempting to successfully showcase such an inherently diverse subject.
