IT Placement Review

Assisting of the BU IT team and the IT department of Cummins, Huddersfield. Business analysis techniques such as extracting relevant data, and sending them to the correct people in report forms. I have coordinated a range some projects during my placement, with them ranging in size and background. I have also been involved in the purchasing of IT equipment that has been required throughout the site.

Communication - developed very strongly during the co-ordination of some projects that I carried out. Project co-ordination. Project management. People management - this was developed during one of the projects that I co-ordinated. Time management. Resilience. Successful use of a range of Microsoft Office Packages.

On one of the projects that I coordinated I was given a very large amount of responsibility. I believe that this large amount of responsibility has developed some of my professional and personal skills to a strong extent, and this is the reason why I have given 5 star ratings on some of the questions previously during this questionnaire.

A fair and balanced amount. I believe that I have been given support when required, however on a personal level this hasn't been much as I prefer to learn and develop by completing my work unsupported and only request support when required. But when I requested, the support was to a strong quality. So overall, the support was strong and the amount matched my personal development preferences.

Overall, very positive and strong. I communicated with a very large range of people based at the site, due to a piece of work that I carried out. Most people were very friendly and determined to be successful at the company. I believe that the company has strong and positive values, and they are successful in finding and hiring people that match these values. The general atmosphere is positive and hardworking, one I have enjoyed being a part of.

Overall, I have enjoyed my placement to a strong level and extent. With this being due to some of the work I have completed being interesting and enjoyable, but challenging and intense. This has been the strongest part and experience of my placement, as I believe that I have been given the opportunity to develop my skills to a very high level. I feel proud and accomplished after some of the work I have completed and projects I have coordinated.
