    • the trainees I work with are amazing, the best part of the job however most of the management are un helpful and there is no staff motivation.

  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • although the placement has been disappointing, I have learnt many things on how I would not manage if I had my own team of staff, I haven't learnt many relevant things to do with events ( which is my course)
