  • 4. How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?

    • There was a lot of support and guidance put in place. We had two weeks with the placement student we were taking over from where they train you full time. We were also given a mentor to speak to if we were having any problems that didn't necessarily have to be about work. We had monthly 1:1 with the line manager to help support us with work load and priorities.
