    The Role

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

    • The placement offers a full industrial experience and great professional development schemes.

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

    • Work with an amazing team who are encouraging both professionally and privately. J.N Bentley has a culture of involving every individuals in all work and makes you feel not only wanted but needed. No matter your skill set the team works together to make sure you excel at what you're best at.

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

    • I was assigned to a new project and I don't think the manager was that aware of the scheme and was always too busy to spend time guiding and supporting. However with the Development Plan it's easier to involve the manager and easier to work together in achieving a set of goal.

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

    • At the start I felt I wasn't doing enough. However as time passed and as I gained a better understanding I was involved increasingly.

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

    • A good amount, not overwhelmingly burdening. Opportunities to try new things and offer service appear on a daily basis.

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

    • I have found the placement very opportunistic. It has had a massive impact on my development and maturity. The huge gap from University to working was/is still overwhelming but also something to work toward. The experience and understanding gained about actual work in industry is something J.N Bentley should take special pride in.

    5/5
