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

    5/5

  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • As the internship progresses and if taken onto the graduate role, then the firm pays for your training to become qualified in the relevant field. In addition, the induction week as part of the internship had an extensive training programme introducing the interns to different software packages and accounting concepts.
