The NCWE (National Council for Work Experience) is a charitable organisation that promotes, supports and develops quality work experience for the benefit of students, employers and the economy.

The main activities of the organisation are to disseminate information and good practice, to encourage and support the development of quality and standards across all forms of work experience and to encourage more employers to provide placement opportunities.

The NCWE seeks to work in partnership with organisations that have an interest with work experience issues in order to add practical value to their activities. The main aims of these partnerships are to;

• Improve the quality and increase the quantity of work experience
• Raise the academic value of work experience
• Become recognised as independent and authoritative by the business and academic communities
• Become a one-stop shop of expertise and advice on all aspects of work experience.

The NCWE is part of HECSU and works closely with Graduate Prospects to produce the Prospects Work Experience publication and www.work-experience.org.
