At Forth Engineering, I viewed multiple differing workplaces and roles within the company. These roles differ greatly and range from 3D modelling and testing products to fixing equipment and customising parts to ensure their effectiveness. This provided me with unique experiences such as shadowing the sales representative and constructing robots which could traverse water. This work experience program helped me to improve many skills ranging from teamwork to problem solving.

In this programme, I completed a course which educated me about the process of medicine creation, testing and distribution. The online course provided me with deeper insight into the process of drug testing and development. It informed me about the processes involved in these different stages and the thought and ideas taken into account when developing drugs and working in a pharmacy. 

This work experience program consisted of multiple sessions which involved watching the content which was provided demonstrated what happens in multiple workplaces ranging from pharmacies to ambulances and followed patients through their recovery. This experience provided me with significant insight into a variety of differing workplaces and improved my problem solving skills. 

I attended weekly lectures which covered multiple mathematical topics such as the nature of infinity. I was selected to attend these lectures as 1 of 4 students in my school. These lectures were hosted at Lancaster University and helped me to improve my problem solving skills by providing me with unique ideas which I may have not otherwise considered. These lectures allowed me to think deeper and improved my skills of thinking outside the box.

I attended multiple courses with CyberFirst including both the defenders and advanced courses. In these courses we learnt about cyber security which included encryption, viruses and how authorities can use technology to retrieve data. In these courses, I learnt these topics, practiced exploiting security issues in older operating systems and completed an exam to prove that I had learnt the topics. This work experience helped me improve my IT knowledge and skills whilst enhancing my problem solving and communication skills.
