The Role
I thoroughly enjoyed my placement.
I felt valued and had a reasonable level of trust.
Had a good induction and support from my manager throughout the year. Being thrown in the deep end a few times definitely helped in hind sight also.
Good balance. Some days very busy and other days not so much.
I felt valued and had a reasonable level of responsibility which grew and grew throughout the year.
Massively developed a wide range of personal and professional skills which directly flowed into my work ethic and attitude for my final year of Uni. Ultimately though, they benefited mostly in gaining a graduate job back in the company.
The Company
Good balance
Ok, but it was improved throughout my placement.
Wide range of access to courses such as Microsoft Office advanced courses.

Perfect - I have obtained a grad job back at UTC.
