What we did on our dream placement
From Monday 12th February to Friday 16th February, we took part in a dream placement with 'Wood'. The theme for the week was "What makes a good leader?"
Joe Moore
"I have always been interested in engineering since I was a young child. My dream placement with 'Wood' has given me a better understanding of what working in a big company entails; allowing me to ask questions about this line of work, and speak to young engineers about what they enjoy.
I am now certain I will pursue a career in engineering after sixth form."
Alex Messenger
"Dream placement was an opportunity which has broadened my awareness of what Wood, as well as other companies can offer in Cumbria, and across the UK”
“The highlight of my week was meeting different people within the business, specifically those working in the Birchwood Labs conducting different tests and experiments.”
