Rhianna is an A-level learner studying Psychology and Sociology. On top of this, she has also excelled in an industry placement with Citizens Advice alongside her studies.
We caught up with Rhianna whilst she was at Citizens Advice to ask her how she was getting on in her placement. She told us:
“This placement was presented to me in my first year at Petroc and it sounded like an important and meaningful opportunity that I would benefit from. The placement has been everything I expected and I have been given a lot of training which has built my confidence and allowed me to speak with members of the public about their rights and what help is available to them. I have passed my assessment with them and have started to regularly engage with the public over the phone."
Rhianna has been offered a place at Leicester University to study Sociology! She believes “This experience has helped me decide what I am looking for in my future career. I am really interested in social work and social policy making. I want to make a positive difference to people’s lives and believe this industry placement has hugely informed my decision.”
