Martins, as he is known to us, is a Work Experience student with us via The Romanian American University in Bucharest - originally from Nigeria, Martins is studying Marketing and International Trade and is spending his 3 month placement with us. He has already become an integral part of our team and we all hope he continues to enjoy his time here.
First of all, TTPL gives me more than what I
bargained for, I was appointed as a Marketing/Administrative Assistant by
the Training Partnership Limited, United Kingdom in my ongoing internship
programme and the experiences so far can be described as the prospect appealing and internationalization focus.
Tasks ranging from support of all the
administrative work like preparing Final reports of our Partners, Source
information from student files to enable accuracy and Marketing is
my Primary task but not limited to that alone.
The first week of arrival seems weird but fun
…..That’s culture shock for me but greatly enthusiasm, the staff are very
friendly, polite and treats you with great respects. British Culture is worthy
of emulation. I admire the spirit of the Teamwork in every bit of my task. TTPL
is supportive to my career and I enjoy a challenged world with solution.
Three weeks ago, I was among the policy and
decision makers at the Chamber lunch organized by the Exeter Chamber of
Commerce and Industry focusing on the Global economy and the future of the
large and small scale businesses in Devon region of the UK. This great event
really widens my scope and view on the Global economy trend and its forecast. I
also met Mr. Ben Bradshaw (British Member of the Parliament) who is a guest
speaker of that day, Thanks for those words of encouragement from Ben and for
being a source of inspiration. His mentorship is needed in the 21st
century skills; it is indeed an awesome experience for me.
Student meeting is an ideal place to have fun,
exchanging views & thoughts for the upcoming meetings and mentored by
the dedicated Staff. I enjoyed the beautiful Cockington Court and
boat trip around Torbay", it was fun and fabulous experience.
Yesterday, we had barbecue at llsham green and with ball games too, it was a
blissful experience for me to be in the gathering of the greats!!! and where you feel the true atmosphere of
mixed cultures and mingle with the young people who are open minded
and dynamic in their pursuit and TTPL is ready to listen and provide solution
to any of our worries.
Finally, Thanks to The Training Partnership
Limited and the Romanian American University for being
great partners, bringing theory into practice, innovative ideas and skills
that's needed in the 21st Century to help its Students .
I cannot express how
joyful I am to you all rather say...''More power to your elbow’’.
