AIBU to encourage my daughter to get a part-time job while in sixth form?

My daughter just started sixth form this September at a grammar school, and I’ve noticed that not many of her classmates seem to have part-time jobs.
I’m wondering if it’s a good idea to nudge her towards getting some work experience, or if that might interfere with her studies. I know balancing A-levels can be tough, but I also believe that part-time work can teach valuable skills and responsibility.
AIBU to think she should consider a part-time job, or should I let her focus solely on her studies?

I think it would be great if the student had summer work but did not have to keep on part time working during term time.

However, a student often has to get a part time job and work every week during term time so that they can work during the summer. My friends had to job hunt in September, work throughout the year so they wpuld have their job for the summer when they needed it
