I did the work experience program when I was 17. I went to a Canon dealer out in the country as my uncle was a manager there. I went out with the techs everyday, and can clearly remember carrying ALL the boxes, vac, toolbag and assorted items for each call. I actually enjoyed it and it lead me down this path into doing this as a career, so dont be too harsh on the poor kid.
Now 16 years later, I have work experience kids with me sometimes. I make them do all the stuff I had to do.
If they are cool and work hard, shout them a coffee or buy them lunch. If they have no interest and cant wait until the day is over, drive like a maniac, swear like a trooper and maybe 'forget' to leave them behind at a call.
