Work Experience in our local community.

Recently, I got the chance to follow up with two of our senior students, Logan Robinson and Annabella Rooney who are both doing well with their work experience placements, in our local community.

Logan is currently working with Electrical Contractors (si) Limited. Dave Wilkinson the business owner, has been in the industry for over 30 years. Dave has recently hired a new apprentice which is ideal, as he is able to work with both Logan and his new apprentice at the same time. Logan appreciates being assigned meaningful tasks, before the end of his first day he was wiring up electrical sockets. He was kept busy last week installing and fitting off a three bedroom heat transfer system, at a new build property.

In line with her Healthcare pathway, Annabella has been busy helping out at Westmar Senior Care.

Annabella carries out a variety of tasks in her afternoon at Westmar. She can be seen doing anything from helping in the kitchen, laundry, serving afternoon tea and socialising with the residents through conversations and games.

This week Annabella will attend an Ara Experience Taster Day - Introduction to Nursing and we look forward to hearing about her experience there also.
