  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
  • Yes I learnt lots of skills like boosting my confidence, communicating with new people ,team work and most importantly time management . I have developed most of my skill which needed a boost of confidence and I was able to do that through the idea of work experience as in school the first time you meet someone it is weird however as time files you find it easier to talk so that's one of the examples..

  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
  • I throughly had fun as I got to see and achieve a teaching from every task that I completed because it just gave me that idea that a 9-5pm job is not only about sitting in front of a computer it's about exploring the world around you. I loved it because I got the chance to experience new things and an rough idea of how the world of work runs.

  • 5. How well organised/structured is your programme?
  • It was well planned and well thought because in every activity I did it taught me something from the world of work. The most important thing about what they planned for me was they knew what was necessary to know for the world of work so you have a general background of you might have to do in that certain job role instead of regretting later in the future

  • Yes I believe there is a lot of opportunities outside of work which helps in your future jobs. I personally feel that employers are very kind and caring to everyone as they always offer work experience, volunteer work, part time jobs or a full time job and apprenticeship for students which give them a opportunity to decide what career they would like to go in or a rough idea of if they are choosing something they will enjoy

  • 9. Would you recommend Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council to a friend?
  • Yes


  • 9b. Why?
  • I would always recommend because they are so caring and provide support for you to adapt easily in your future job environment. If you understand that the people around who are giving you advice are actually sharing their experiences with you and trying to hint to you that don't make the mistakes they have made which they regret till now as by the time you will realise your time would have gone and you won't receive the second chance to not make those mistakes at that time.
