I was so excited when I heard about the DFN Project SEARCH internship with Siemens because I’ve always wanted to work with trains.

I enjoy our activity and expeditions classes most – we have done a lot of activities with NCS (the National Citizen Service) such as rock climbing and raft building.

The restaurant service days are my favourite part of the course, as I love seeing the end product of what I’ve made and people’s reactions to it.

All the tutors are supportive and give you personalised feedback which has helped me improve in all areas of dance, especially with picking up choreography quicker.

The Public Services course has improved my confidence all-around and it’s going to set me up for my future as I want to do an apprenticeship with the fire service which we learn lots about.
