    Support & Guidance

  • 4. How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
  • I had a very supportive team with a group chat to ask any questions. I had 1 to 1 meetings with my manager every other week and another mentor figure to support me throughout the year. There was also a monthly call with the UK team for us all to help each other and offer advice/brainstorm. Overall I felt very comfortable asking anyone in my team for help.
