Hey Alomoac!
I’m not sure whether these places would still be doing work experience now with COVID restrictions still in play, but you can try the following similar places:
- labs
- unis (especially research sections and affiliated research institutes)
- any private optometrists, allied health services, etc.
Be prepared to be knocked back and told “we don’t do work experience here” a lot.
What you do for work experience probably isn't that helpful/useful as some high schools/peers may make it out to be. You could really do anything and still be fine for the future.
This exactly. No one really minds where you go do your work experience, though it can be vaguely helpful if you’re undecided in an area to decide whether it’s for you or not.
For an anecdote: I did my work experience in the marketing division of a small IT company. 10 years later, I now work full time in health care/ science fields.
I know many people who did their work experience in places/ fields completely different to where they ended up doing a career in.
