This week we've been delighted to welcome Thomas from Wirral Grammar School for Boys to Kaleidoscope for his Year 10 work experience placement.
At Kaleidoscope, we believe work experience should be about more than simply observing from the sidelines. It's an opportunity to gain real insight into the workplace, explore different career paths, and get hands-on experience with genuine challenges and projects.
So far, Thomas has been immersed in life at a creative technology company. He joined our Continuous Growth workshop at the start of the week, where we explored themes around personal development, habit-building and continuous improvement, drawing inspiration from ideas in Atomic Habits.
Since then, he's spent time with members of our design and technology teams, learning about user experience design, graphic design, web development, software development and emerging technologies. He's also been developing his own project, exploring how technology could help young people build positive habits, develop confidence, learn new skills and achieve their goals.
One of the highlights of work experience is seeing how different disciplines come together to solve problems. From research and design through to technology and business thinking, Thomas has been gaining insight into the many different roles involved in creating digital products and services.
We're looking forward to seeing his final concept and presentation later this week.
Well done to Thomas for the curiosity, enthusiasm and professionalism he's shown throughout the week so far.
