    The Role

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

    • Thoroughly my enjoyed placement at E.ON would highly recommend those who are looking to gain sector specific knowledge and experience to apply.

    4/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • When engaging with colleagues as an undergraduate there often a reference to a 'fresh pair of eyes'. I was be able to identify things experienced colleagues previously hadn't. Which is why my comments and observations were valued by my colleagues.

    4/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • I was given adequate support and guidance. There is an element of freedom to be creative with ideas and solutions. When set all tasks, the expectations are laid out regarding timescales and scope of work, it was my responsibility to manage that during the process.

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

    • 3/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • Regarding my work, I was responsible for everything. It was a constant communication between me and my supervisor regarding updating them on the work and whether I would satisfy all the objectives before deadlines.

    3/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • 100%. The sector specific knowledge I have gained will be inviolable going forward as I can apply real life experience and engagement to whatever role I intend to pursue in the future. Furthermore, my general organisation skills will support me in becoming more diligent with university work.
