  • 6. To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?

    • The internship was a great networking and soft skills building experience. I feel I have made many strong life long connections. However, from a hard skills development perspective I found the experience to be lacking. The latter point will depend strongly on your team, line manager and experience coming into the program.
