    4/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • I believe, I had a fair amount of work load given to me as a placement student. I was given the chance to explore about the company as much as possible and understand the working mechanics of the organisation. So, I had a lot of responsibilities but at a more lower level. However, I had opportunities to bring significant changes to the company by suggesting ideas every now and then. for eg. Helped in rebranding of the products

    5/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • The works were related to my degree as my degree consists of mixture of management and Information technology. The experience I have gained is of great value, this helped me to boost my confidence. Training was on the job. This experience helped me to mind set what to study in my final year.
