 When Harry Potter defeated Lord Voldemort on May 2nd, 1998, the end really was, as they say, only the beginning. Much was lost in the Battle for Hogwarts, lives being the most easily accounted for. It is now June, 1999, and Hermione -- the only member of the Trio to return to Hogwarts -- is about to graduate along with Neville Longbottom and Ginny Weasley. With such an influx of young people about to enter the workforce, and increasing demands on the Ministry to help and monitor graduates of Hogwarts, a program is created to both standardize post-education job placement and ensure a headstart for those finally ready to face the real world. The answer comes in the form of the Work Experience Initiative or WEI. All students from graduating years 1997-1999 are asked to submit applications through the Ministry to begin internships, studies and placements in the media, St. Mungo's, designated companies, certified individuals and the Ministry itself. Though it is flexible, diverse and fairly unrestrictive, it is a way by which the Ministry can ensure that no student is unequipped to perform in a healthy, functioning society. For the last seven years, decisions have been made for you. Sure, you could pick your courses, if you were really lucky, pick your friends. But the structure of education, of going to school, is limiting. Who you like is often determined by who you're closest to in proximity. Your beliefs, judgements, actions and successes have relied, more or less, on your environment. But the war is over, and so is school. London, and the rest of the world, lays open to you. So choose. Choose a job. Choose a flat. Choose your friends, if you're looking for a change. Choose a pub. Choose a drink. Choose love. Choose politics. Choose to make change. Choose not to choose at all. The possibilities are endless and life is only just beginning. slated to begin june 20! WORK EXPERIENCE INITIATIVE OVERVIEW # THE PAST YEAR # EVERYTHING ELSE YOU NEED |
