Do first take 16 year olds for work experience?

My son is 16 and is a bus fanatic. ( especially gemini buses ) I was wondering if firstbus do work experience. It doesn't need to be for longer than a day as he has autism and a learning disability. He really wants to be a bus driver when he's older but his chances are slim. I'm trying to find any way I can to give him just a day of work experience with buses. It could be something small like cleaning a bus and I would be there to help him along as he is a bit shy. Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. :)
