Insight into Accounting and Bookkeeping careers though AAT Virtual Work Experience

Designed for curious pupils who want to know more about the opportunities in accounting or bookkeeping as a potential career path for them.

The AAT VWEX programme, developed in partnership with Springpod, an online careers and work experience platform, is aimed at pupils aged 14-19 years old and beyond. It's free to all schools and pupils in the UK.

Through the fully remote, interactive programme, participants will explore eight modules, each one focusing on a different topic such as ‘the world of bookkeeping’, ‘the world of accounting’, ‘employability skills’, and ‘career pathways and progression’, along with a variety of practical webinars and activities from finance professionals.

There are also two ‘sprints’ within the AAT programme - short real-life simulated tasks, filmed with AAT Tutors, Melanie Walker and Ellis Harris-Boulter - giving pupils a practical taste of what a career or apprenticeship in finance might involve.
