    4/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?
  • The Internship and graduate team were in close contact throughout the program and were always eager to make sure people were involved and getting what they wanted out of the experience. Despite being online there was also a great atmosphere of collaboration amongst interns.

    5/5

  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?
  • We were checked in on by multiple supervisors to make sure we were on track with the projects we had been set and also how we were getting on in the program generally.

    5/5

  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?
  • Given that it was virtual, a lot of work was self-led with multiple calls throughout the day, this provided a good work-life balance for those of us who had not been previously used to working remotely.

    5/5

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
  • We were working on a project which was to be shown in front of people quite high up in the organization which made the work we were doing feel important and valued.

    4/5

  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • Along with the insight into large organizations and interpersonal skills that you might expect to progress, I felt I really developed my digital capabilities in using teams and excel etc which will be very helpful.

    5/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?
  • The atmosphere was collaborative and very friendly, there were limitations to this however because we were working remotely and so a workgroup can only bond to a certain point, highly unlikely o be an issue if the internship returns to the office though as everyone was very keen to get to know one another and work well.

    4/5

  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?
  • The program was exceptionally well organized in the run-up to and actual time fo the placement. This is a testament to the careers and apprenticeships team who checked in lots of stages to make sure you were onboarded as quickly as possible.

    5/5

  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
