The STEM placement students are sending us weekly blogs all about their experience in the world of work!
Work experience is great and it provides students with many benefits whilst gaining skills and helping choose the right future career path for pupils. Having work experience on a Curriculum Vitae will make a person stand out to employers as they will notice they have motivation and a real passion for work. It will also help to boost a students confidence in themselves!
See how Vinay is getting on with his STEM placement!
Week One
"I had started my first week of the CREST Gold placement at
the Advanced Technology Institute, at Surrey University. I was working on a
smart floor project. During the first week, I had many formalities to complete
such as making an ID card and getting to know the surrounding places and my
colleagues. I then got myself familiar
with the current prototype for the smart floor and the Arduino; this also
included having a read of the scientific paper that explained how it
worked. The week also consisted of many
discussions with my supervisor on how the system works and our plans for the
duration of the placement."
