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

From day one I was treated as full employee, with no 'intern' mundane tasks purely because of my title. I was accepted as part of my team and into the wider organisation, and able to make real contributions to meetings and projects.

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

There were weekly one to one's with my manager , monthly team meetings and a mentoring program at hand if you wished. All staff were extremely helpful and no piece of help or advice was a burden to them

4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

My specific job role varied in peaks and troughs, however thanks to the ample selection of ERG's and volunteering opportunities onsite there was never a moment I was 'twiddling my thumbs'. Combined with the extensive online learning catalogue for continuous improvement ; you could never not be busy !

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

I was given genuine responsibility from the get go by having ownership of SharePoint's and projects. This was built upon as the year progressed with event management, projects and charity work all being added into my job role.

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

The skills and training that I have gained and enhanced this year will be so important for going back to my final year. Having the experience of team work, problems solving and deadlines in a real industry environment will give me invaluable knowledge to take to university, and life.
