My name is Pauline and I will be spending the next month as an Erasmus trainee at trainingmatchmaker.com. To start it all off, Christine Watson, the Erasmus trainer of my colleague Lina and me, encouraged us to make up our minds about personal learning interests and how we could integrate them into this traineeship in Belfast, Northern Ireland.
Despite belonging to the generation of digital natives, it quickly became clear to me that I need to brush up on my social media competencies. These are necessary skills to keep up with the pace of our time and the wide variety of tasks at work that I hope to accomplish during my time here. I’m looking forward to gaining a lot more skills at handling social media as successfully as possible.
Looking at the variety of the tasks my colleague and I were allocated during our Induction, I will use the chance to get to know as much as possible to build my personal development.
During the month long stay, my colleague Lina and I will stick to a plan full of online learning courses to extend our skills and knowledge, the varied work life, our eager hunt for the best photos to put out on social media and keep as memories and the generally exciting time to live everyday life in Belfast. All of it will happen as a part of the #LearnuaryNI– campaign.
