Questions
- Where do the dates come from?
- Each row links to the official page and shows when Navigait last checked it. If a date is not published, it is marked TBC.
- Does the tracker include spring weeks?
- Employers publish those on their own sites, and the dates move. The Work Experience Finder is where those programmes belong. The tracker does not invent a spring-week calendar.
