The motivation
I’ve never left the UK and I’ve only ever been to one other country it’ll be nice to see more of the world. I applied for the placement to gain real world experience in how workplace functions, and I saw it as an opportunity to see how I’d manage in a practical setting.
The placement
My biggest learning experience during my placement was my ability to communicate with both co-workers and customers.
The location
I liked how our location was near many transportation links, making going to the site easy, particularly how it was near the sea allowing us to go to the beach and visit many stunning sites.
The impact
This placement will help me communicate more clearly and confidently with customers and colleagues, maximizing our efficiency by working together.
