He is trying to organise 'Work Experience' and would like to do it in an area that is linked to his career path.

He did a weeks work experience last year with his current employer as part of his yr10 studies, but wants to dedicate this years work experience to his chosen field.
Ah, gotcha!

All I can recommend is that he is persistent, it's a valuable life lesson. My first job was applied for on an Employment Application, which I made a few mistakes on. I recreated it on the computer, including their logo (made manually), printed it in colour, and they were so impressed, I got an interview immediately. This was back in 1997, so it was much more impressive than it would be these days.

It's not easy to do, but he will get there. It's just a kick in the balls until he does, but he will be thankful for that opportunity.
