Overview
Working on ice cream formulations to improve taste, texture or impact. Typical responsibilities include carrying out analytical tasks, making ice cream and data analysis. Work as part of a team to carry out projects which take roughly 3-6 months.
Skills
I have strengthened my communication, problem-solving and teamwork skills. I have also learnt lots of new skills, developing new IT abilities as well as being trained on new equipment. I have also learnt lots about the science of ice cream.
Responsibilities
I have been responsible for organising large tasks to be completed and leading small teams in carrying out these. This has developed my organisational skills and confidence in leadership.
Support & Guidance
It has been a very supportive community. I have felt comfortable in asking for help if I am unsure and know someone will always help. If I do not feel knowledgeable enough to carry out a task then it was made clear that I did not have to do anything I didn't feel confident with. The teams are very supportive and are keen to help develop you.
Culture
It is such a lovely company to work for. The culture is very friendly and welcoming. Everyone is lovely and willing to help if you are stuck or unsure of something. I have felt very accepted within the team and will be sad to leave. It is quite a positive atmosphere and very supportive as a community.
Your Impressions
I have really enjoyed my placement. I have been really pleased to see both my skills and confidence increase across the year. I have been able to contribute to meaningful work whilst also leading tasks. I have gained lots of professional development and there has been opportunities to get involved with initiatives outside my role. My team have been very welcoming and supportive and I will really miss it when I leave.
