As you know, we facilitate placements for students here at Venus and at Our Place.  Students are placed with us for different lengths of time dependent upon the course theyre on and what stage theyre at with their course.  We asked one of our latest students, Fran, to introduce herself and Coleen and tell us a little bit more about their experience...

Hello Everybody!

This is a slightly overdue introduction to Me (Fran) and Colleen as we have been at Venus for 3 weeks already!

OOO we're excited that we've had a boss little postcard from our lovely Maeve who we miss loads and who remains part of the magical Venus Web despite being in sunny North Carolina in the USA!

As you know from previous blog posts and from visiting the Centre, (keep up those of you at the back!!) Maeve was a social work student placement who graduated this past summer (Congratulations Maeve, we knew you would do it!!) and has since travelled to the USA for lots of fun and adventure.

We've posted before about our Social Work Student Placements and how helpful they are to the work we do.  Maeve recently left us after her placement and we asked her to share her thoughts and experiences with us here.  We love sharing our experience and work with students and are really happy when it works out well.  Tell us in the comments section what you think about student placements.  Over to Maeve...

So on the occasion of our latest student leaving us I thought I'd tell you a little bit about our students and how they help us deliver our services whilst we help them learn about their chosen field of study.  It's a boss mutually beneficial arrangement and it raises additional funds for us because Education Establishments like Liverpool John Moores University make a contribution to our Organisation to cover expenses and staff time.
