My first month has flashed by at The Training Partnership,
so now’s a great time to take a moment and reflect on what’s happened.
I was first interested in TTPL as I thought it would be a
chance to express and share my love for Devon. Having grown-up here, I feel
privileged to live in such a lovely part of the world. From misty winter walks
on Dartmoor to sunny summer days Torbay, I’m extremely fond of the area. Just
for the record, the correct order of a cream tea is cream then jam and Devon
(not Cornwall) do the best pasties!
It’s hard to believe but my first day was exactly a month
ago. I was glad to find out I wasn’t the only ‘new boy’ as Aaron started as
Work Placement Officer the same day. As Office Administrator, I’m helping to
ensure everything is in place to give students a smooth and happy stay.
I’ve also had plenty of opportunity to meet our lovely
current students, visiting Kent’s Cavern, bowling in Torquay and spending every
other Wednesday evening at the Exeter Language Café. This now runs in addition
to the Torbay meet-up on a Tuesday evening and it’s great to see so many attend.
It’s brilliant to see so many close friendships forming and nice for me to give
advice on their next weekend’s adventure! Having travelled myself, living and
working in foreign countries, I can seriously appreciate any welcoming local
who can give some handy hints!
The office is looking extremely festive thanks to the
efforts of our current student Mathis and as 2015 swiftly comes to an end, I
look forward to the future in 2016 with TTPL.
