Read Full Story
I did work placements at College. My favourite work placement was working at the animal shelter, I cleaned the cats out and liked to smooth them, Raven was my favourite he would always come over to me when I was working. I also walked the dogs. I like animals.
I also had a work placement in a cafe. After my work placement in the cafe, I got the job and I started there after I left College. I have worked there for 5 years now. I go to work 2 days a week. In my job I take dishes to the kitchen, clean the tables and help older people when they need help carrying dishes or help to open the milk. I am happy there. I have fun with the staff, they are funny.
At Lifeworks College you do loads of stuff, you get to go on trips, get to do work experience and artwork stuff. When you have learning difficulties, the college helps you understand things. If someone was thinking of coming to College I would say it is the best college.
