Work Experience actually Works!
This testimonial was provided by Robyn Bradbury, parent of high school student, Mitch, that performed work experience at C-E Solutions. C-E Solutions hosted Mitch during a school holiday block and provided Mitch with a small but achievable systems engineering assignment. Mitch was also exposed to the various activities undertaken by staff at C-E Solutions. During his stay, various staff provided Mitch with insight into what was necessary to achieve career aspirations, as well as real life examples of how education is applied to real world problems (such as maths!). Up until this point Mitch had expressed a general desire to leave school prior to achieving his Higher School Certificate. We're glad to see his experience was sufficient to motivate him to hang in there to get to where he really wanted to go, and not to give up. Check out the sincere appreciation we received from his parents, below, some 18 months later.
...just a short note to tell you that our son Mitch passed his Higher School Certificate and has been accepted in Qantm in Brisbane doing a Bachelor of Interactive Entertainment, specialising in Games Design. We would love to thank you and your staff who we think provided the motivation for him whilst he was doing his work experience - he FINALLY figured he could do something worthwhile which included his passion.
