    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?

    • I had a fantastic time over the 9 weeks of my internship

    5/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • My project was used for several upcoming conferences and some of my daily tasks were shared with the whole team

    4/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • Every member of my team were happy to answer any question I had and were always there to help when I had a problem

    5/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • Due to it being a less busy time in the insurance industry I was not that busy the whole time. However the charity project which you do as part of the internship means you constantly have work.

    3/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • Because of the niche nature of the insurance industry, a lot of the internship was just learning about different parts of the industry. Not that this was a bad thing of course.

    4/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
