A good balance of daily duties plus extra work was given on a daily basis.

I was given my own projects, while under the wing of a manager, i was responsible for installation and providing solutions for my own project problems.

The Organisation
- 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?
-
A good balance of social interaction and hard work. People were very approachable.
- 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?
-
A few teething problem with my intial start and what i was and wasn't allowed to be a part. Paper work was seamless.
- 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
-
Everything, i had a personal development manager, and a volenteer to mentor me to chartership.
- 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

Other Information
- 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?
-
Unfortunatelly i was the only long term student there, however there was still a good social scene.
- 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?
-
Renting was fine, socialising wasn't bad it was the travel to venues that were the problem.
- 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?
-
Worked and lived in a village, my mistake. Living in derby and travel to work every day is a much better idea.
- 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?
-
Plenty of sports clubs, community organised events.
- In addition to these questions, is there any extra information you would like to leave about your experiences on your work placement that other students may be interested in?
-
The people at Tutbury at least were very kind and help, especially in the first few weeks. The night life in Tutbury is none existent, live in the city were there is one and travel, it may cost you a little extra but if you live on your own it will cost you your mind! A very good placement plenty to do plenty of opportunity I would definitely recommend it.
