ANNAN ACADEMY PUPIL SPENDS WORK EXPERIENCE WEEK AT LOCAL MSP OFFICE
Annan Academy pupil Marta Borowicz (15) spent the week on work experience at the office of Dumfriesshire MSP Elaine Murray’s Office.
Miss Borowicz did a range of office duties including: dealing with constituent enquires as well as general secretery duties. Miss Borowicz also spent a day at the Scottish parliament shadowing Dr Murray as she carries out her Parliamentary duties. Miss Borowicz finished the week off by attending a meeting of the Dumfries & Galloway full council.
Reflecting back on the time in Dr Murray’s office Miss Borowicz commented:
“I have really enjoyed my time in the office, seeing what an MSP does on daily basis and how their office works. It was very interesting. Everybody I met in the office and the parliament were lovely and very welcoming. My favourite experience during the week was the day I spent at the Scottish Parliament. I got to see a number of things including the Chamber where the MSPs debate. If I ever get the opportunity to go back into the Labour office in Dumfries, I would not hesitate for a minute.”
Dr Murray added:
“It was a pleasure to have Marta working my office. She made a number of valuable contributions and I know my staff enjoyed working with her. It is important that local young people get real work experience as it will help them in future life.”
