    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?
  • Overall it was good as a first experience of work, but I didn't get that much responsibility or development opportunities.

    3/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?
  • I was valued, but I wasn't given work in correlation with my capabilities.

    3/5

  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?
  • A lot of guidance and support was given for all of my tasks.

    4/5

  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?
  • Overall not enough work, I would say on average I had about 3 days work to do per week (full time job).

    2/5

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
  • I was given work that was necessary, but not really critical to the business.

    2/5

  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • Not at all really. I wasn't given any training and the work was largely irrelevant to my degree. BAE give much better engineering internships.

    1/5

    1/5
