work experience

toffuna101

yes, im making another post on here in the space of a few minutes. so during our first year we have to complete 35 hours of mandatory work experience in the business sector. so it could be anything related to business like marketing or finance. and obviously since i want to do a chartered manager degree apprenticeship i have to focus around the finance side of things. so i sent in eight companies to the work experience adviser that im hoping to do work experience in and shes going to contact them for me to see if i can do work experience during the october half term. we're supposed to do it around february time however i can do it in the october half term. im planning to do it earlier since i want to relax on that week that most other people are doing work experience. and i say most because those with part-time jobs can just sign off their work experience straight away if its related to business. so theyre lucky. anyways i hope i can get work experience for one of these companies.

Hey @toffuna101 , how are you doing this afternoon? Thank you for making this post, and that's totally okay for you to make multiple posts in one day! That's why we're here!

You mentioned that for your course you need to complete 35 hours of mandatory work experience, which you're hoping to complete this October half term. You've found 8 companies that you're interested in and sent them off to your work experience advisor whose going to reach out to them on your behalf - how exciting!! How are you feeling about this, @toffuna101 ? It sounds like already you've been putting in a lot of work and fore-thought. Are there any places out of the 8 that would be your top choices?

We're right here with you, rooting for you every step of the way!
