Work experience Review

I was involved in work experience at leeds trinity university sports science department. My role included helping PHD students with their studies such as taking notes during experiments and helping to set up trials.

I had to be much more independent than usual and travel to work on the train for the first time every morning. Other than this I did not learn a lot.

I enjoyed it a fair bit, although they ran out of things for us to do after a while and let us go home early. Also we were waiting around quite a bit.

Not very valued. We were given only simple jobs with very little responsibility. No job we were given were essential jobs.

It was fairly well organised. There was a weekly plan with time slots for each activity, however we found that the tasks often took a lot less time than was scheduled.

Not much at all, we were very much left to get on with tasks by ourselves. Often we were not checked up on, even to see if we had completed the tasks.

N/a

It was work experience so no pay.

N/a I am a student.

No

It was not that worthwhile, I did not learn much or gain any transferable skills.
