Northern Midlands Council Placement

Karri, a Year 9 student, recently completed a Learning Through Internship (LTI) placement with Northern Midlands Council. This hands-on experience allowed Karri to put her creative skills to the test and work on a project that had real-world application. Throughout the LTI placement Karri was involved in various tasks that required problem-solving, collaboration, and innovation, allowing her to contribute meaningfully to the Council's plan towards a new recreational park development.

The LTI project Karri worked on gave her the chance to explore her interests, while also gaining insight into how local councils operate. The opportunity to apply her creativity in a professional setting helped Karri develop new skills that will be valuable in her future career aspirations.

Overall, the internship was a highly valuable experience, combining learning, creativity, and practical application in a supportive and real-world environment. Karri left the placement with a greater understanding of her potential, and a project piece that demonstrates her ability to contribute to meaningful projects.

Thank you to Northern Midlands Council for hosting Karri on her LTI placement.
