    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?

    • Thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Feel like I learnt a lot of useful business skills but also interpersonal, communication, time management and personal skills. Definitely more than I bargained for. Also, how to keep yourself busy and take every opportunity

    4/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • I feel like the work I do is appreciated and respected as I am the main person responsible for a significant part of my departments work.

    4/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • Handover was not particularly focused but that's because of a quick change in direction. Also, no one else does the work I do.

    3/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • Fluctuates but can be very busy. It can take time for processes to develop and be aligned before implementing

    4/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • Look after the overview of processes and features, but not given any projects to manage

    4/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • Engineering degrees cover a wide variety so only a small select part of my degree was used but the skills learned this year will definitely help me going forward in university and my career
