I enjoyed working for Corus Strip Products in Llanwern The work was interesting other colleagues helpful and was also encouraged to give my opinion Working in a steel works can be an facinating and exciting work place
Did get the chance to practise some of the skills learnt in school and also did learn a lot of new skills eg management technical IT etc
I always felt very valued and the biggest thing I can say about this is that i never felt like a placement student I was more like a fellow coworker
Really good lots of variety and challenges and worked with a great group of people
The job could get boring at times but there was loads to learn and you were involved from the beginning
I really enjoyed the job even though it was in a field that I had little expertise or knowledge in There were obvioulsy bad days and sometimes you have tasks which are quite mundane howver these were very infrequent and every job will have this Overall
I couldnt have chosen a better placement I enjoyed the challange and the ever changing environment I have experienced other areas of Human Resources for example training and working with a HR advisor so my placement was extremely varied Corus is a fan
At first working in a new location far away from home and my comfort zone proved to be a struggle because of the different characters I came across but within a few weeks I was able to adapt to the role and start enjoying my work
Loved it hard work but very enjoyable and the people were excellent
I enjoyed the placement with Corus The work was varied and interesting
Very much i had a very good time the placement itself was great and the social scene was even better I would recommend
really fun summer helped that I already knew the research group from the previous year very interesting work scientifically we had to take a process which had been performed in other labs recreate it and allow for scale up to line production
Although i found the first week or two daunting as i was a stranger to new experiences of this level everyone involved me and i turned out to love it I would reccomend this placement to anyone wanting to accquire invaluable skills I am so appreciative
