1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:02,600
Speaker 1: Jersey and Amanda jam.

2
00:00:02,440 --> 00:00:04,800
Speaker 2: Nation down to the Jonesy Demount of Arms for the

3
00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:08,240
Speaker 2: pub test. Work experience a thing of the past. Seems

4
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:10,559
Speaker 2: to be. During the pandemic, things stopped and if they've

5
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:13,800
Speaker 2: hardly started up again. It seems it's no longer compulsory

6
00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:16,960
Speaker 2: to do work experience. Some people have said that it's

7
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:19,319
Speaker 2: the time of their lives. Others have said it was

8
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:20,400
Speaker 2: a complete waste of time.

9
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:21,680
Speaker 1: I think it's a waste of time.

10
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:23,560
Speaker 2: It was the most exciting thing that ever happened to me.

11
00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:25,439
Speaker 1: Well you went along and watched a guy do a

12
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:27,160
Speaker 1: voiceover for Colgate toothpaste.

13
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:29,880
Speaker 2: I think you'll find it was I Barner for salt

14
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:33,239
Speaker 2: patters and chemists. It was thrilling these days. To get

15
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:34,960
Speaker 2: my son to go to work experience. You'd have to say,

16
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:36,640
Speaker 2: do you want to get into the ring with Connor McGregor.

17
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 2: You'd have to offer up something if you look up

18
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 2: from his phone for a bit, Yeah, I was going

19
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 2: to go to the pub. So work experience does it

20
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 2: pass the pub test?

21
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:46,920
Speaker 1: No?

22
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:51,640
Speaker 3: It does it because kids are expected to find it

23
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 3: themselves these days, there's no structured program offers. I think

24
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 3: unless you know the schools stay together with employers that

25
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 3: offer a structured rabbit the way that I.

26
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 4: Did work experience.

27
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:06,200
Speaker 5: My mother organized it back in the late fifty and

28
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:10,040
Speaker 5: they put me into the maternity ward. I literally had

29
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:12,039
Speaker 5: to do everything, and especially when.

30
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 4: The women were giving birth and they.

31
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 1: Were in theater room and I was left counseling the

32
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 1: ward on my own.

33
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 3: Not a good experience put me off nursing.

34
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 1: I can tell you absolutely, my work experience was possibly

35
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 1: the best week of my teenage life.

36
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 4: I'm a creative either a high school in Sydney and

37
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:33,039
Speaker 4: we used to do across the board work experience for

38
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 4: ten students, but found that a lot of students didn't

39
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 4: make good use of it and would just use it

40
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 4: as a excuse to go to a family business and

41
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,399
Speaker 4: not really learn about what's for you they wanted, So

42
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 4: we now only offer work experience students who really want.

43
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 1: To do it. Absolutely, it's about making sure that young

44
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 1: people are ready for the workplace. They need to make

45
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 1: sure they're up there, able to get there, they're addressed appropriately.

46
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 1: It's about interrupting with the wider community, not just their schools.

47
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 1: Them up to take on the world. Why would they

48
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 1: take away that opportunity. It's insanity, it's.

49
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 2: Not sanity about that one maternity ward. So you know

50
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:13,119
Speaker 2: she's out looking after the moms with their new babies,

51
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:15,519
Speaker 2: and she's the only one on the ward that was

52
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 2: simple time major
