They liked that I was always pushing myself. Our T Levels include a 45-day work placement - see pages 14-17 for details I completed a mentorship with Urban Synergy. I was paired with a HR Director, who helped me learn more about HR on a day-to-day basis, including carrying out a mock interview and presentations. I also spent a week working at M&G Plc, a global savings and investment company which operates across the America, Asia, Pacific, Europe, Middle East and Africa. I also completed an internship with tech company Boku in their European head office in London. The work placements and mentoring have shown me that I can step out of my comfort zone - I have sat in on talks with a range of people in global companies about asset management, HR, diversity and inclusion. I have learnt a lot about company culture and the kind of environments I like to work in. The insight and contacts have made me confident communicating in the workplace.
