The Met OfficeAnyone aged between 14 and 17 can spend a week with The Met Office to get a better understanding of what they do ‚ much more than the weather forecasts you see on the television. As well as giving you an insight into the working world and helping to confirm career plans, youll spend time with their Innovation Academy which will include workshops, presentations from staff and tours of their exciting headquarters.

As well as placements in science and forecasting, they have placement opportunities in other areas of the business including HR, Marketing and Finance.

Their work experience opportunities run for one week in either June or July. Applications for work experience open in late autumn and the deadline for applications tends to be the end of January. Most of the placements are based in Exeter, and they do not offer accommodation.
