Work experience Review

For the first two weeks, we were doing classroom based learning and essentially being trained and the third week, I was a part of the Learning and Development team where I learned how to conduct myself at work and I carried on developing skills I had gained in the first 2 weeks.

I developed my communication and teamwork skills whilst also learning how to be a good team leader.

It exceeded my expectations and I got a lot more out of it than I thought I was going to.

I felt like I was really valued and everyone treated me as their equal.

All the training, the induction day and classroom based learning flowed into preparing me for my work experience in the final week so overall it was very well organized.

Everyone had a positive attitude and were happy to answer my questions and they were easily accessible if I needed help or guidance.

They provided a lot of training and were happy to offer guidance or help when I needed it.

I think the salary was a bit low however, it was higher than the minimum pay for a 16 year old.

So far, I haven’t received much opportunities outside of work.

Yes

It was so worth the time and the skills and knowledge you gain are so valuable and are all transferable to whatever career pathway and individual wants to take.
