    Responsibilities

  • 3. Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
  • I was given a lot of responsibility during my placement. I was integrated with the climate risk modelling team straight after my induction and was given the responsibility of building an aspect of the climate risk model with full autonomy albeit unwavering support from all team members throughout my internship. The combination of high responsibility and plenty of support when required was great.
