Cataloging the ramps on board BP ships- 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?

Yep. Absolutely. In this placement I've not only learned a lot about my degree- ship science- but also interpersonal skills, different cultures, get used to different English accent.....
- 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?
-
Engineering Standards Team are very friendly and humorous. We are teasing each other and feel comfortable everyday. They're teaching me and help me a lot along my project. Some gave me a feeling like brother or uncle.
- 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

A lot of supports from James Collett. I would say he's the best supervisor that I've ever expected.

- 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
-
Yep. They sent me to a ship in Rotterdam just for my experience.
I can go to the training course provided by Lloyd's Register for 2 days just for my learning as well.
I can also book an appointment with any people that I need to learn something about. They've never refused to teach me even those knowledge are probably not relevant to my project. - 10. What were the perks on your work placement?
