<jats:p>The concrete experience of pupils and students, together with authentic
and authoritative career information, are essential to allow for an
educated career or vocational training choice. Such a choice is an
essential part of the Government philosophy detailed in recent White
Papers. The National Health Service, along with other public bodies, has
lacked examples of structured student work placements to provide
concrete experiences which have the potential to formally link with
academic qualifications and hence provide an easing of access to further
vocational development. The article charts the introduction, application
and evaluation of one such structured and practical scheme. The scheme
is based on the “Young Manager” package produced by Henley Distance
Learning Ltd and Cambridge Training and Development and piloted by the
National Health Service Training Division.</jats:p>
