The Role
Fantastic placement - Very varied with lots of responsibility
Treated as if I was already a graduate which helped me fit in very quickly to the team
Constant support and guidance from managers as well as colleagues
The role required a lot of work, but it was an incredibly varied role that provided the perfect work life balance
I was given a set of clients to look after, reports, and daily tasks - Real responsibility was given
Investment in developing my own skill strengths and weaknesses was second to none
The Company
A fun environment, with a serious tone when needed!
Lots of points to raise issues and raise ideas, presentations were used to accompany the placement which broadened knowledge and understanding
Heavily invested with training, both at the start of the placement and throughout, training courses were used as well as work shadowing.
