Work experience, also known as internships or job shadowing, is a valuable opportunity for students and recent graduates to gain practical skills and knowledge in their chosen field. It allows individuals to apply the theories and concepts learned in the classroom to real-world situations, and can provide valuable insights into the day-to-day operations of a company or organization.
A work experience report is a document that summarizes and reflects on an individual's work experience. It is typically used to provide evidence of skills and knowledge gained during an internship or job shadowing opportunity, and may be required as part of a college or university course.
