🔬 About this opportunity
GSK — one of the world's biggest healthcare companies — is running a free Virtual Work Experience this summer, open to students in Years 10–13. It's a flexible, beginner-friendly way to see what working at a global company actually looks like, with no experience needed — just curiosity. It's perfect if in-person placements are hard to get hold of, because there's no travel, no cost and no location barriers in the way. Runs Monday 29 June – Monday 13 July 2026.

💡 What you'll get
  • Behind-the-scenes insight into GSK, its science and its people
  • Practical skills employers actually look for
  • Tips to build your confidence and personal brand
  • Guidance from a GSK Insider (your online buddy)
  • Career ideas you might not have considered yet
  • Real experience to add to your CV, interviews and personal statements
  • A downloadable digital badge and a personalised GSK certificate when you finish 🏆

🚀 What you'll do
  • Watch short videos from real GSK employees
  • Complete interactive tasks and reflections
  • Explore different career paths across the business
  • Start thinking about your future goals and next steps

🎙️ Live session — Wednesday 1 July, 10am
Join a live mid-week session with a Q&A and honest career advice from GSK employees — plus the chance to ask your own questions.

Built to fit around you
  • Around 7 hours across the week (with an extra week to finish up if you need it)
  • Start, stop and learn whenever works for you
  • No experience required — just bring your curiosity
  • There's even a glossary to help with any tricky terms
