Petition Allow students undertaking work experience the right to accept/be paid

As of right now students who need to undertake work experience in order to complete their course are unable to accept pay from their work experience. Students have to take a large amount of time off from their usual jobs to complete work experience and most will miss out on a large amount of pay.

More details

Missing work, means missing pay and for some missing pay is the difference between being able to pay rent or not, being able to afford bills or even being able to afford food.
