THE STEMETTES SOCIETY | PG 7
by BVGS
In my work experience, I also worked in a group to make smart financial decisions about fictional money each of us were given. We also learnt about how IT and coding were included in their jobs and other parts of the STEM industry that they worked with.
These experiences opened my eyes to the possibilities of a career in the STEM industry and they have motivated me to apply for a STEM-related degree at university next year.
The stemettes society mentoring programme has been an incredible educative and enriching experience and I hope more girls interested in STEM will look them up and become a stemette!
I did work experience at RPS Quantity Surveyors in Digbeth and I had a wonderful time. Not only was everyone really nice, but I was given lots of challenging and fun work to do. I went out on 2 site visits to find out what happens at a construction site and I also was trusted with filling out contracts to the contractors. I had a really good time and even got invited to a company lunch on one of the days. Work experience is great and it made me realise what work life will be like in the future.

I worked for Aviation Recruitment Ltd, and did a multitude of jobs around Birmingham airport (working at boarding, in baggage, at recruitment, etc). It was extremely interesting, and gave me a great insight into the inner workings of the job. Overall, I would really recommend work experience to anyone who wants to develop their skills in a profession.
