The End of the Road?

April 2012

Well, here we are at the end of our journey.  How time flies when you're having fun.

My work based learning has been an absolute pleasure to undertake and has taught me some very valuable lessons and skills that I'm sure will be utilised in my future career.
These include (but are not limited to):

• Planning, delivering and evaluating events
• Communication 
• Research techniques
• Acting as ambassador for The BBC
• Editing
• Interviewing techniques
• Interpersonal and organisational skills
• Time management skills...........

• ..............and finally, working with children 

I have also recently undertaken training to operate the BBC Big Screen in Clayton Square, Liverpool and Exchange Square in Manchester.  This comprised a three day training course at Media City in Salford covering the following:

• Editorial compliance
• Health and safety
• Technical set up and operation

I am happy to say that I am still volunteering at BBC Radio Merseyside as Up For Arts Researcher and continue my employment as a duty manager at The Citadel Arts Centre.  I would love to further develop a career in broadcasting and this experience has opened up many possibilities which I intend to pursue fully.

I'm also thrilled to report that we have secured funding for Up For Arts until 2013. (Due in part I'm sure to my hard work and diligence compiling the end of year report!)

Finally, I would like to thank you for taking the time to join me on my journey of work-based learning.

It's been emotional.
