T Level placement 

I have completed my work placement hours for my T-Level Business course once a week at Natterjack Marketing for the past five months, after finding out about the business through a careers event hosted at Energus.

Going into this placement, I was unsure if I wanted to go down a marketing or events management route, mainly because I knew I wanted to go to university, but I didn't know what courses to apply for. Natterjack gave me the opportunity to see what working for a marketing company is like, whilst also focusing on the events they organise and host.

This placement allowed me to learn how to use tools like Canva and CapCut in a workplace setting, all whilst improving my skills in email etiquette, communication, and boosting my confidence in my work overall. I had the opportunity to make posts for clients’ social media, write LinkedIn newsletters, research clients and businesses, help organise events, and so much more.

Each week at Natterjack was different and focused on improving a different skill set, which is exactly what I enjoy! I have since decided to go down an events route career-wise, and the skills I have learnt and the experience I have gained at Natterjack helped me solidify my choice. I feel this will help me further in my career, due to putting these skills into real-life practice.
