Towards the end of last week Craig contacted me via email to say that all necessary forms had been sent away and it would just be a case of waiting a couple of weeks for all of this to come back. Once this is all completed I will be ready to embark on my placement. I am looking forward to getting started and learning many new skills.
Due to not having started my placement yet I am going to talk about the seminar last Friday. I arrived at the seminar fairly early. This seminar was based on Career Awareness and Planning. I was given a booklet which had many different tasks in it. As Romy went through the slides she talked through each task which I had to complete.The first task at hand was to make a framework which Romy had already planned out for me. Then the second task was to structure my past. So I had to plot when I was born, my current age and an important event which has happened in my life. My important event was starting university when I was 18. Task 3 was to structure the most important things in my life just now and then rank them.
Following on there were a few more tasks to be completed. One task I enjoyed in particularly was structuring my future. So this task involved me planning what I want to be doing next year, in 3 year, in 5 years and then in 10 years. My wishes were based on my academics and my future job. I plan to be a primary teacher which requires me to apply for a postgraduate teacher training degree at the end of my current degree.
I feel that this seminar has been helpful and these tasks will be good to look back on and see if I have achieved my goals. I hope to have started my placement in the next couple of weeks.
