Goal Setting 

Goal 1: To understand the responsibilities and expectations within a work environment. This will help prepare me for the work life outside of post-secondary, as I would have experienced a positive work environment.  

Goal 2: To have gone beyond my comfort zone and built leadership skills along the way. I hope to gain new strengths and skills in leadership which will help me grow in the future.  

Goal 3: To have obtained skills in problem solving through my work experience. Recognizing that there are many problems that one may come across in the work environment, I hope to strengthen my ability to solve different problems encountered in and out the workplace. 

Growth

Goal 1: My growth in understanding the responsibilities and expectations within a work environment is seen through my ability to arrive on time and ready to work at the scheduled start time. Through my work placement, this goal has developed from adapting to the work environment at science world and meeting the expectations. From my time at science world, I have learned the responsibilities in a work environment which include arriving to work on time, providing customers with a positive experience, and following instructions.

Goal 2: My growth in developing leadership skills and going beyond my comfort zone is seen through taking initiate in assisting customers with questions and providing information to guests. By placing myself in a dynamic and busy work setting it has helped build my confidence and further push me out of my comfort zone. An example of this is when I took initiative to take out various activities for guests to enjoy. From my work experience, I feel more confident in my leadership abilities, and I can see myself being more outgoing in the future.

Goal 3: My growth in obtaining skills in problem solving is seen when I came across a challenge when dealing with coatracks for school groups. Faced with a situation where one group had too many people which they then needed additional space for their belongings, while other groups were arriving simultaneously, so I removed some coatracks to free up space and provided an extra bin and coatrack for the group, which resolved the problem.
