Education Minister Daphne Caine says work experience for students has changed since the pandemic - and her department won't be changing back.
This week in Tynwald she faced questions about work placements for youngsters in schools from Onchan MHK Julie Edge.
Mrs Caine said there had been a change of policy in the way work experience was offered.
But she said special events were being held for some to give them a taste of the workplace:
