S.W.O.T analysis upon my skills and equalities:

​

My Strengths- Teamworker, good communication skills, willing to give feedback and listen to others for improvements. I tend to have a positive attitude even if their is many steps to make towards my goal nothing can keep me down.

​

Weaknesses: Being given negative feedback as it makes me feel that i could have done better. I sometimes have confidence issues towards my work and it can affect elsewhere e.g. home and being with family.

​

Opportunities: To extend my knowledge of the media industry, so that my career goals can be achieved and i can have a successful career path, extending into retirement.

​

Threats: Little experience in the media industry, depending on university places this may put you in debt. having a negative mind set towards my work may lead to me being unable to achieve my aspirations.

peer Assessment of my SWOT analysis ( Ethan Newman )

Seeing his S.W.O.T analysis it is put together well. All points have been discussed well and there is a clear understanding features.

​

Action plan to improve my weaknesses:

​

Being given negative feedback, i need to not allow my emotions to get the best of me and i must take the feedback given to me onboard and make sure that i improve what is needed to the best of my ability. This should not have a effect on my confidence as i have other units that i perhaps will do better with but i need to focus more to progress further on the course. This shouldn't have any effect with issues outside of college as i don't want  this to give me a negative mind-set for the future, when it comes to employment and future job careers.

Specific job titles/roles and their positives and negatives:

​

​

The disciplines for an agriculture degree will differ completely from a degree in Media and communications, The job types and roles will vary as well due to the different disciplines, for example a computer science degree will feature the role of Academic research and Technical elements compared too the discipline of Biological Sciences and the type being a PHD. You can also find a career  more easily from the location options, if for instance you are living in the North East of England and are wanting to find a career path in law for example, the best law courses might not be located in the North East of England and instead located in the south, with some students this will then have to force them into changing what they originally wanted to learn as the location of where they live and where they need to go for the course are to far apart and it would be easier to study a course closer to home.

​

​

4. Internships :

​

​

An internship will come with certain Study structures to show how the course is planned and what achievements  you can add towards your career path. The first year of an internship is to understand your position working for an organisation that being a student or a beginner, it will usually not include pay to begin with but the work and experienced gained throughout will then prove to be very important towards requirements that will be asked for a further internship that you wish to study. There are possible internships for foreign students are small to begin with then will gradually all add towards a larger final project that students and trainees will be prepared by everything they have studied previously in the course.

​

​

5. Apprenticeships:

​

There are many positives and few negatives when it comes to studying a course as part of an apprenticeship. The most noticeable positive is that the pay that comes whilst learning a topic or course that your interested in as well as Practical Experience for the future, " Earn whilst you learn " is the famous quote for students that have chosen an apprenticeship to study. The other main positive to take from an apprenticeship is the no-debt policy, this will leave you with no payments to be made or due, You will start life after your apprenticeship course debt free.  However their are some negatives to take from an apprenticeship course, the main one being that some careers wont allow access to the certain preferred career, this could leave young adults not knowing what job route to take. The only other possible reason to put of young adults and students is the experience of working within a university, some will claim to not wanting to attend a university to study but some will look back on their past as a missed opportunity to learn more about the real world and travelling and meeting new people rather than staying in a location that students would be more familiar with.
