My story of how I started at work 🏫💚

Hi, I’m an Intern in WCIL. I started only as a pioneer but then I was asked if I could be a Intern, the first of many to come!

I have written a story about how I started my job

The reason why I’ve written this is because I felt very scared and didn’t know what was to come

This is a story to help you feel more comfortable and to be ready for work

Wanting to see what Wiltshire has to offer, Emma and her Life Connector caught the bus from North Wiltshire to Trowbridge, exploring the town and making some friends along the way 🐿️💚
