    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?
  • I really enjoyed my year at WorldFirst! The people I worked with, both in my team and across the company, were supportive in my development and great to work with. I also had the opportunity to get involved with areas of the business outside of my role, which allowed me to get the most out of my placement year and explore other parts of the business.

    4/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?
  • My role gave a lot of responsibility, which naturally made me feel valued by the company and my team. I never felt like the placement year student.

    5/5

  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?
  • There was a handover period where I was able to learn the role from the existing placement year student, which allowed me to quickly pick up the role. My manager arranged shadowing during my first week, both within my team and other teams across the business, allowing me to quickly understand the dynamics of my role and the business. During my placement year, I have been able to seek support from the other colleagues in my team.

    5/5

  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?
  • The role itself was very busy, but I enjoyed this.

    5/5

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
  • I had a lot of responsibility during my placement, whereby I was responsible for one of my team's sub-functions.

    5/5

  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • The role itself involved a lot of problem solving which is a useful life skill, and transferable to future job opportunities and my degree.
