The Role
I enjoyed expanding my knowledge base in a practical environment.
I was treated like an equal on site and in the offices making me feel valued within the company.
I felt that I was guided and mentored efficiently with my line manager taking a hands on approach to my learning.
I was kept working at a steady pace including being given time to study.
the responsibilities i was given merited my experience and understanding, they were all suitable to my understand and helped me progress with my learning.
the skills i developed over the summer will help me hit the ground running ahead of the competition when i graduate.
The Company
helpful, friendly and enjoyable.
well organised with the weekly learning sessions providing a interesting insight into the company workings.
The company helped to show me how to further develop my career.
Company Parties/Events
very appealing.
The Culture
myself and fellow students created an strong friendship and are still in touch after the placement events.
one hundred and fifty pounds per week
chancres in Dumfries has mentally scarred me for life... i may need therapy after a night in there.
the engineers enjoyed spending lots of time socialising outside of work.
