This virtual work experience is valuable to provide essential and necessary skills and qualities needed in the workplace. Having completed this virtual work experience, it strengthened my inner confidence and provided a clear and wide mindset, ready to thrive in future opportunities and projects. Already having a strong and keen interest in Politics, it allowed me to discover new pathways and take on key journeys, which make me more drawn to the world of work in the House of Commons.
