Interesting article about work experience highlights potential barrier.

Student jobs threatened in wage move
Government plans to tighten up the rules on when employers have to pay the national minimum wage to young people on work experience could sink innovative university career services. The Department of Trade and Industry is worried some sectors, such as film and media, exploit an over-supply of young people willing to take on unpaid work. But concerns have been raised that Government intervention will prompt HM Revenue inspectors to take a tougher line on university career schemes that aim to build up employment relationships with small local firms.
