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 Freya is getting on with her STEM placement!
Week One
"During my first week at Headway I spent Monday
doing background research and looking through the data the centre had. Tuesday,
I spent the day with clients, helping out with their worksheets and watching
the session on memory. It was interesting to see how the clients are presented
with different problems (symptoms) after their acquired brain injury.
Wednesday
I spent doing further research, reading papers and accumulating data from the
survey on mobile phones carried out by the clients who attended Tuesdays
session. Thursday again I spent with clients, and Friday I spent beginning my
report. It’s been an interesting week, I’ve enjoyed learning more about memory,
acquired brain injuries and the clients."
