Elevating Success UK Internship
Six-week placement ended: 29 July 2015
The main thing I love about Elevating Success UK is what they stand for and how they
help the community. My six-week placement came after finishing my degree and was
arranged by my university.
During my placement I came to realise that I want to continue being involved with the
community. It brings such a pleasure to know that you are able to give back to people
and make a difference. There are a lot of people out there who just need people to give
them time and to focus on them and this is something I was able to do while on
placement – whether it was helping to construct CVs with learners on the Pathway to
Work in Construction Programme or working on a CSR project designed to increase
awareness of what the charity does amongst corporations.
I also learnt a lot about myself: I learnt that I am capable of doing a lot of things and this
has helped me grow as an individual. It’s been a lovely experience and I just want to
thank God, De Montfort University and Elevating Success UK for having me.
