Work experience week was a fantastic opportunity to learn new skills and gain valuable knowledge in the work place.

The first day involved me completing various tasks, ranging from organising the shop displays, unpacking stock, to general cleaning. Under supervision i also had an insight on how to build bikes.

The second day to the end of the week, i was tasked to carry on building bikes. I quickly grasped the skills required to achieve this task, and moved on to setting up bike gears, and ensured the bikes were in excellent working order. The management team were so confident with my abilities, they let me build the bikes unsupervised.

As part of my experience, I was afforded the opportunity to serve customers in the shop. Overall, the whole week has certainly enhanced my overall confidence as a person, giving a boost to my self confidence and enhancing my communication and team skills.
