WIL Experience Mind Map Image description
- WIL Experience
- Personal:
- Project was focused on sustainability in tech
- Employer’s mission statement revolves around sustainability
- Able to apply sustainable e-waste knowledge
- Developed skills in project planning and pitch writing, as well as presentation to clients
- Interpersonal:
- Working with colleagues outside of classroom shaped how I discuss work, making it less academic
- I learned a lot from one of the clients, who gave feedback on my communication
- It was a great feeling working with people who share similar values and the kind of contribution you want to make
- Processes:
- There was a lot more structure for reporting and presenting than, say, a final report in a class. Much more fast-paced, which I enjoyed.
- Also, great to see impacts of contributions by how feedback was given
- I preferred using asynchronous communication over meetings; more productive
- Environmental:
- Working remotely was challenging at first for connection, but I learned to carve out time to connect with clients and co-workers outside of scheduled meeting time
