A year-11 student spent two
weeks at Elevating Success UK in July 2015. During my two-week work placement at Elevating Success UK, I learnt so much in such a short space of time. First, I learned how to work in a team within
an office where I was given responsibility to send emails, answer the phone in a professional manner, install software, make social media
updates and help organise a camping trip. Not only did I work in the office, I also worked very closely with my manager Andrew by attending youth and business meetings which gave me a real insight into the business world.
My favorite aspect of the placement was that I got a taste of what work-life is like. I learned that work is nothing like school: I enjoyed the work I did and felt that it was
useful, whereas my experience at school can feel the opposite. I guess I have something to look forward to in the future!
