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

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

    • Some days were busier than others, however that is the nature of the construction industry, especially within consultancy. Other days were so busy, it was a nice balance.

    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 modules in my final year are centered around what I have learnt during my placement, so that will help a great amount. As well as this, there is a lot of information available to help me in my final year of studies.
