Towards the end of the project

As your project approaches its final weeks, this phase invites you to look back at the journey you’ve had. It is a meaningful moment to gather the insights, skills and stories that have shaped you, and to begin understanding how this experience will influence your future. Reflecting now can help you make sense of what this chapter has meant to you and prepare you to talk about your development with clarity.

Use the guiding questions below to start this process. They are here to help you recognise the most significant moments of your experience and understand their impact.

• What moments or experiences had the biggest emotional impact?
• How do I feel about ending this chapter?
• What will I take from this culture into my life going forward? What are three key skills I’ve developed here?
• How would I describe my professional growth to a future employer?
• What kinds of work or roles do I feel more ready for now?

You may answer these questions in your own way and follow the memories, emotions or reflections that come up. If you want to explore your journey more deeply or organise your learning visually, you can choose one of the suggested reflection methods below.
