Work Experience!!!

As part of our Ty program in St.Wolstans, we are given the opportunity to go on work experience on most Wednesdays.

My first work experience placement is in the chemistry department in maynooth collage. This work placement consists mostly of working in the chemistry labs.

I was nervous about starting work experience, I had no idea what to expect! This was our first insight into the world of work and how people are expected to work together. To my relief all the staff were very welcoming and they do their best to make you feel involved.

I'm finding work experience very interesting so far. I work a lot in the labs setting up experiments and making sure all the equipment it out and ready to be used. I also carry out tasks such as ringing suppliers and ordering supplies for the labs.

I feel very lucky to have the opportunity to go on work experience, its very benefitial and it's something to look forward to every week.
