We had to organise it ourselves. It's a way to build confidence for future employment. It's not hard. And 15 year olds are hardly babies. When we did ours we were told to call multiple places in case something fell through or to ensure we actually got a place.

Work experience isn't just about getting a place in your chosen field, it's about experiencing work. The whole package. A lot of people in my year never got to work in their chosen fields. Usually only those with contacts got that luxury.
