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

    • Within reason I was given a fair amount, every piece of work you do is submitted for review which is ideal for feedback and development opportunities.

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

    • This was a major factor for my enjoyment, we were given training in Excel, Power Point, Java and RPA which will be hugely beneficial in both my final year of Uni and future career
