    The Role

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

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

    • Due to the roll I had within the team I was relied upon to perform tasks which impacted upon others and as such the work. I felt as though the tasks I was performing actually had a purpose.

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

    • The structured support and guidance in place was very good.

    • We had our busier and quieter times, however the quieter times allowed for more routine but necessary tasks to be performed.

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

    • I felt I was given a good amount of responsibility as the processes being performed had value and importance.

    4/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • I was able to enhance my softer skills immeasurably during the placement for example, planning, time management and communication.
