"Presenting Nice Work is fascinating because of the wide range of stories you hear, and the people you get to meet. Not only do we cover the big picture trends and theories, we get up close to the real experience of work, from the people who actually do it.
Over the next six weeks we'll be looking at the pros and cons of work experience; investigative claims that Britain is fast becoming a nation of malingerers and updating you on disability issues. We'll also be looking into the spiritual side of working life and finding out about the help available for people who want to return to work after a lengthy career break."

Work Experience and Apprenticeships
With the current skills shortage significantly affecting business productivity in the UK, Philippa Lamb examines how effective the effectiveness of one of the training schemes trying to address this problem - Modern Apprenticeships.
Plus, this summer, thousands of young people will be doing some form of work experience for the first time. For most it's a taster of the world of work. For others, it presents an unmissable opportunity to get a foot in the door. But what are the pitfalls?
And we revisit three volunteers from the last series who road-tested various stress-busting techniques and discover if their working lives have improved, if at all.
