I did this course for 4 months after university while I tried to find a job. This was a course which allowed me to learn more about how to get a job and also taught me some valuable skills which would help in any future job I got. For this course we had to raise money to allow us to help the community which we did through packing bags and doing a car wash, we spent this money decorating a couple of rooms at a centre for people with mental disabilities. I also did work experience for three weeks as part of the course. For the first week I was working in a charity shop pricing up books. The second week I was working in a library stacking and sorting shelves. I also helped clear the shelves and find books for users of the library. On the third week I was working at Kew Bridge Steam Museum, helping to create a museum guide for the visually impaired
