香港六合彩中特网 Academy students experience world of work at 香港六合彩中特网
3 July 2014
Five sixth form students from the 香港六合彩中特网 Academy have been enjoying direct experience of the world of work and university life by taking part in two week placements in five divisions across 香港六合彩中特网.
The students have been based within Communications & Marketing, Student Registry Services, 香港六合彩中特网 Enterprise, Finance and HR. The students have each been shadowing team members, finding out more about what they do and helping them on routine tasks.
One of the five, Rifasudeen Mohamed Anver, has been working within 香港六合彩中特网 Enterprise, the division of 香港六合彩中特网 responsible for developing the university's relationships with the business community and supporting student and academic entrepreneurship.
Rifasudeen has been working on the Citrus Saturday project, a 香港六合彩中特网 initiative to give school students a taste of how it feels to run a business.
"I have been making maps for the volunteers who will be working on Citrus Saturday and entering data onto spreadsheets for the people working on the project. To be part of such a huge initiative has made this work experience even more rewarding and made me feel like an integral part of the team," said Rifasudeen.
Another of the students, Omar Safwat, has spent the fortnight working with the different teams in Communications & Marketing, writing news stories, helping at events and assisting on film shoots for 香港六合彩中特网TV. "Working here has been truly rewarding and given me direct experience of working in this field. It's been really helpful in helping me decide what I want to do in my future career."
