A lot. My team and manager have been very accommodating and helpful. Help is always given to those who ask at national grid. You are encouraged to ask questions.

I loved it. I’m so glad I did it and have gained a few new skills as well as lots of experience of working with a professional team. I got to follow work that I enjoyed and was given opportunities to go on site visits.

Read up on the company first (including legal separation!) to show you care. Have a balance of technical and business knowledge. Don’t be afraid to ask questions. Show you value team work and national grid’s values.
