    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?
  • I really enjoyed my placement here at BMW, the department allowed me to learn things about a lot of areas of engineering. I also got to experience what other departments did and I feel as i got the complete experience from working here. Each day was enjoyable and i would recommend it.

    4/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?
  • I felt as though all my colleagues valued me. They all listened to what i had to say and supported me whenever I needed it. They were all down to earth and really appreciated it when I offered my support with tasks and project. I felt as i was a productive part of the team.

    5/5

  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?
  • My manager and supervisor was fantastic. They always offered support whenever i needed it and always found the time to guide me when I needed it. I felt as though they did care about me and that they wanted my work to be just as good as i wanted it to be.

    5/5

  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?
  • Most days I had tasks and projects to do which was nice, it was never too much but it kept me busy throughout the day. However some days I was left wondering what to do as I had no tasks to do, this was a shame but still most of the time i could find something to do or ask someone if they needed support.

    3/5

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
  • I was given a good amount of responsibility when working at Mini. I was asked to run meetings and meet and speak to suppliers. I was also asked to present to General Managers across the BMW network representing my department. It was a good amount of responsibility but it was never too much that i didn't know what to do.

    4/5

  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • Doing a placement here has helped me develop my personal and technical skills dramatically. I have learnt skills I did not know before and i have developed my skills that i learnt at university. These skills will help me in my final year of Uni as well when i start my job.

    5/5

  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?
  • It was very well organised, there is a big group of placement students here at Mini so there is always students to talk to and to meet outside work. I never had a problem when starting here and I was given contacts if i had any questions that i wanted answering.

    4/5

  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • They have invested a lot of time and effort into training me, I was giving time with each of the people in my department to learn what they did and that has helped my personal development. Also i was given all the training i needed to complete all my tasks and more.
