IChemE Virtual Work Experience in Chemical Engineering

IChemE’s Virtual Work Experience programme lets young people explore chemical and process engineering from anywhere, at their own pace. It is designed for students who are curious about engineering, considering future study or careers, or looking for an alternative to in-person work experience.

The programme includes more than six hours of content, with activities, quizzes and real engineering challenges. Participants learn what chemical engineers do, hear from practising engineers, and build their understanding of engineering and employability skills.

The experience also shows how chemical engineering can help create a more sustainable world.

The content covers a range of industries, including energy, food and drink, water and healthcare. It also includes additional activities focused on specific areas of industry, helping participants gain a broader view of possible career paths in chemical engineering.
