3. How much guidance/support did you receive during the insight?

Plenty of support and guidance. Each session was allocated enough time for us to come up with ideas and any questions were answered promptly by those who were supervising us. Feedback after each session was also given with great attention to detail.

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

All of the skills that I learnt on the day have been a major boost to my self-confidence and I feel I am more likely to put myself out there now that I am more familiar with the workplace setting. The skills and their relevancy to any potential job opportunity makes me more comfortable about speaking about it in an interview.

7. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

I think they invested a little bit in us. There wasn't any hardcore training that we received but more of a cursory introduction of what one could expect when working in a small company. Lunch was great though.
