    Responsibilities

  • 3. Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
  • I was given a lot of responsibility during my internship which helped massively with developing my skills and confidence.

    Support & Guidance

  • 4. How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
  • A lot! My manager was amazing from day 1, and so was my wider team who I worked with on a daily basis. I always knew I could go to them with any question and I would always receive a useful answer or be guided to where I can find out more information, which also helped me to meet new people across the business. Working virtually, I was still supported massively and had regular catch ups with my manager and team members.
