Doing Dream Placement was definitely worth it. It opened my eyes to the fact you can do something creative as a job and even do those jobs while staying in Cumbria. It helped build my confidence by stepping out of my comfort zone, meeting new people and going to new places. It also showed me so many other things in the local area I had never even heard about. The whole process has made me more excited about the future and what I can actually do.”
