    The Role

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

    • Was a great internship, got to work across two different industries which is rare for an intern. Had the opportunity to go to meeting with senior executives. Would have like a bit more responsibility in my day to day tasks.

    4/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • Colleagues were fantastic at making you feel part of the team. They involve you in as much work as they can. However, as an intern, my skill set was limited in comparison to those I worked with who had a wealth of experience; therefore not all tasks were the most challenging.

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

    • Each intern was provided with a buddy, HR rep and line manager. There was constant communication therefore any problems were resolved quickly.

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

    • Amount of work varied on a day to day basis. Some days I felt like I had too much, some days there was less to do. It is all dependent on the pace of the project and the people you work with. Overall, it was fairly balanced.

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

    • I never felt like I was running the show, but I always had work to do. Sometimes I would have to ask around if people needed assistance, but as I got more involved in my role my workload increased.

    3/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • Not that I have completed my degree yet, but I do feel like I have learnt skills for life. Even on simple programmes like PowerPoint. I have learnt to use basic Office tools in a more professional manner, which will help the speed at which I work and the level of work I produce.

    5/5
