Who will benefit from guided Virtual Work Exposure?
Virtual Work Exposure, guided by a model, will have short-term, long-term and over-arching benefits for everyone involved in the student career journey.

How will it work?
Virtual Work Exposure will be guided by a model that enables multiple online experiences to simulate a real workplace.
Students will complete work exposure missions
A variety of industries and career pathways will have dedicated missions for students to browse and choose from to provide students with a guided experience in their initial exposure to work.
Students will earn Work Exposure Points (WXP)
The points system will reflect the reward for time spent on a mission, with points collected when objectives are completed. Points are a way to indicate interest, exposure and ready-ness to the world of work.

ESA has developed a demo/prototype of the Virtual Work Exposure Model in action. Explore via the module below or access it through the official prototype link.
Connecting to Virtual Work Exposure
Linking the experiences and resources already available by bridging their content to students.
‘I like the way that (in the prototype) there are many ways students can engage with the industry and fine-tune their thoughts and you get a real sense of it before they enrol in a VET course. I applaud you, it looks great.’
