Week 5 Commencing 15th July 2013

The key focus for me going into this week was the first aid training that I was going to undertake on Thursday, it was quite a surprise to me that this training only lasted for one day. The main reason for this is that to me it felt like they were many areas of this first aid training course that were not covered in enough depth for a course of its nature. However, the instructor did mention at the beginning of the training that there are different first aid courses which do last longer. Although there was a lot to take in on this training course this was reinforced by an emergency first aid at work booklet. This will be a great help for me as I know that I will be to go over any of the areas that I forget as this was my main concern when the training had finished.

In addition to this, this week it has also been great to see the development of (young person a) since I have started my job. It is clear to see their passion and love for music when they are recording in the studio. Since I have started this young person has attended each session where I have been working which has showed to me their dedication for music as they have wanted to go back over recordings from a previous session and improve them at any opportunity Their enthusiasm to come up with new ideas for how they can improve their work has really impressed on me that with the correct guidance they will be able to produce music which is radio worthy.

Overall Looking back at this week I have undertaken some valuable training which will be of great benefit for not only this job but also on any occasion where an incident would arise and first aid would be required. Something that I will look into in the following weeks is helping (young person a) and also any other young person to promote their music by using sites such as Soundcloud. From the work that they have been producing it is clear to see that they have great talent and by using platforms such as Soundcloud this will provide a great opportunity for them to not only share their work but also improve their self confidence and believe in the work they are doing which is highly commendable.
