As for work experience, employers have the same work cover liability and responsibilities for a person "donating" their time as one on payroll. I haven't started a job recently that hasn't had at least a full induction day and paperwork signing, its hardly worth it for someone who may only be around for a week. Some places wont do WE anymore.
If his resume isn't getting any cut through, he may be better off treading the boards, asking to talk to store managers in person, so they can see that hes serious, my first job at 17 was just this, walk in, talk to the boss-right place, right time. Or talk to your circle of friends to get the word out.

Cheers, but he's not looking for paid work, he has a job and been in it for 2.5yrs.
This is just work experience in his chosen field and i dont think they are picking on him personally, its just that the general concensus is to avoid giving a young bloke an opportunity, not necessarily my Son, but any kid trying to get a feel for the work place.
