“I enjoyed work experience because it offered a chance to learn what life is like outside of school and being in a workplace. The most enjoyable part was meeting new people and stepping out of my comfort zone. As well as this, personally, I enjoyed the tasks I was given such as ELearning, going on worksites and gaining the courage to deliver presentations to people I’d never met.”
