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

    5/5

    The Company

    5/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • HP have been through this process many times now, they know how to set up a placement! From the assessment centre you get a feel for exactly how well the placement is set up and that continues throughout.

    5/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    5/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?
