Work experience is big success for Cole and Haseeb
Thu, 18 April 2024
Two Tameside College students receive glowing reports during work experience placements.
Cole Edwards and Haseeb Hassan have both been given glowing feedback after taking part in placements with local companies.
All students who study a full time course with the college are required to take part in work experience. This helps them to put the skills learnt in the classroom into practice and provides them with soft skills such as communication and teamwork.
Cole, who is a former Hyde High School pupil currently studying accounting at Tameside College, spent time working at Cineworld Ashton. During his placement Cole worked with the cinema’s management team to learn about financial targets, accounting processes and stock and inventory monitoring.
Haseeb who also studies accounting, is a former Audenshaw School pupil. He revisited his former high school to complete his placement with the ICT department, helping to maintain the school’s digital infrastructure.
Nicole manager at Cineworld Ashton and Cole’s work placement mentor, said: “I am incredibly impressed with Coles progress; he has learnt to master the day to day processes within the business and I am even working with him to put an incentive in place for customers that was his idea. Going forwards I plan on continuing to involve Cole in the behind the scenes of retail in order to continue to improve and practice his skills. Well done to him.”
Cole said: “I really enjoy my placement as it allows me to see the managerial side of work as well as being able to practice the skills I've been trained in like cashing up and deliveries it's also a great insight for my course in terms of the business side of it. It’s helping me to see the practical side of the classroom training.”
