My name is Nadine and I completed my four-week Erasmus traineeship in Belfast, Northern Ireland at the two companies “Trainingmatchmaker” and “Watson & Co. Chartered Marketing” which were founded by Trainer Christine Watson. Before the traineeship I had written a personal learning plan which included all of the goals I wanted to achieve during the four weeks in-company. In the following blog you can read what I achieved during my traineeship in Belfast.
On my first day of work I created the first graphic for Christine’s client Hillmount Garden Centre using canva for business. It was the first time I used this tool and I think it’s an easy way to create graphics for your own business. On the same day I had also the opportunity to teach the staff of Mallusk Enterprise how to create a new LinkedIN cover graphic using a canva template for their profiles. In the following weeks I had many chances to improve my competence using canva because I had to create different graphics for my trainer Christine and her various customers’.
Here is an example of one of the graphics I produced:
My name is Nadine and I am 21 years old. I live in Germany and currently I am doing an apprenticeship as a marketing communication clerk at the company “Stroer” which is mainly known for Out of Home Marketing solutions. In the future I would like to study business administration with the major subject “Marketing”. In my free time I enjoy meeting my friends, playing guitar and I love to travel. I am really glad that I had got the opportunity to do the Erasmus traineeship, to work abroad and to get to know a new country and culture.
Photography and Video skills
Together with my fellow trainee Krzystof from Poland I joined some Today at Apple courses (you can find them pisted on the trainingmatchmaker.com website). They took place at the Victoria Square shopping Centre. We chose three courses which we were interested in:- Photography on iPhone
- Recording Techniques with iPhone
- Getting Started with iMovie
