The teens kick off their journey in a Gordon Ramsay restaurant in London, where head chef Davide and front of house manager Roberto agree to mentor them over two days, giving them hands-on experience with real customers. Both of them have worked their way up in the restaurant business over 20 years and are passionate about the industry they love, and they expect reliability and a strong work ethic from anyone working alongside them.

Stacey takes five teenagers for work experience in a care home on the Somerset coast. The privately owned care home is in Weston-super-Mare, a retirement hotspot where a fifth of the population is over 65. With 400,000 people living in care homes across the country, it's a sector looking for young workers in a variety of roles to help with an increasingly ageing population.

Stacey takes the five work experience teens to taste life in a contact centre. Elliot, Mersadi, Skye, Abbey and Hakeem join the 650 customer experience representatives taking calls on car, home and life insurance. Their first day is spent with some of the company's specialist trainers, who can quickly assess the five's ability to speak to complete strangers.

The teens try out the manufacturing industry, visiting a high-end trainer factory near Carlisle. They are initially taken aback by the number of jobs done by hand and by the complexity of the production process. However, as each one is then set to work on key stages of the trainer manufacturing, it's not long before things start to fall apart.

Stacey takes the five teenagers to Heathrow Airport for their last piece of work experience. It's a baptism of fire for Skye, Hakeem, Elliott, Mersadi and Abbey as they begin working land and airside for one of the UK's largest single-site employers. As they split up across the airport, some of the teens head to the engineering department to work on the airport's driverless electric pods, while others check the facilities in the terminal with a site engineer and work with Heathrow's customers.
