I could <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">further develop my skills, and gain exposure to the professional world<\/span>, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>My placement in a pandemic<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">My placement has undoubtedly been one of the most valuable experiences at university<\/span>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I was part of the Employer Engagement and Events Team within Careers and Placements<\/span>. I<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">t was my team\u2019s responsibility to develop and maintain relationships with graduate employers, organise a programme of <\/span>c<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">areers events, and host our annual careers fairs. This means that no day was ever the same<\/span>. T<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">here was always something different for me to get involved in with<\/span>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Alongside the team workload, I was given my own projects to manage and lead on. One of which was to increase the visibility of, and maintain employer engagement with,&nbsp;the University\u2019s employer offer. This gave me the opportunity to design and update the Employer webpages, as well as working with designers to produce the new employer brochure<\/span>.<span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> <\/span>B<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">oth of these things I had never experienced before! <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I have so many favourite memories from my placement experience, but my highlight has to be organising and delivering Careers and Placements\u2019 Partnership Celebration Event<\/span>. This<span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> brought together key employer partners, senior staff from the University, and an MP<\/span>. The event <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">recognise<\/span>d<span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> the work that employer partners do to support Careers and Placements\u2019 programmes<\/span>, and<span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> discuss<\/span>ed<span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> how these partnerships can support the Social Mobility Pledge. Although there were challenges to overcome during the organisation, this experience was highly rewarding, and definitely enhanced my placement year.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What I have gained from doing a placement<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Since coming back to academia, I have been able to appreciate the range of skills that I developed on placement<\/span>.<span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> <\/span>I learned everything f<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">rom teamwork and interpersonal skills to project management, communication and time management. These skills are incredibly valuable<\/span>. I now have <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">confidence in my ability to make decisions, communicate effectively and manage my workload<\/span>. <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I do hope that this confidence carries through the rest of my academic life, and in future employment.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">My placement year has <\/span>shown me <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">how the skills from my degree can be applied to the world of work<\/span>. I am now considering <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">possible career paths post-university.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I have thoroughly enjoyed my placement year, and would highly recommend the experience to anyone considering it. Whether you know what you want to do after university<\/span>, <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">or not, a placement year<\/span> can help. They <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">show that you have sought work experience, and will help you to stand out from the crowd!<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"ap-custom-wrapper\"><\/div><!--ap-custom-wrapper-->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I\u2019m Taylor and I am a final year English Language and Linguistics (with placement year) student and I want to share some of the opportunities that are offered as part of your programme of study at the University of York, and in the Department of Language and Linguistic Science. Higher education is not only about discovering more about the subject you love, it is also a great opportunity to immerse yourself in everything that the city and the University has to offer and one of those things is the Placement Year Programme. In my blog, I will be talking about my placement year experience, some of my placement highlights and how this experience has impacted my studies. I hope you are looking forward to coming to York and starting your course.
