    The Role

    5/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    4/5

  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    5/5

  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?
  • Varied on a day to day basis. Sometimes I was given lots of work to do which kept me busy but had occasions when there wasn't any work that I was able to do. However these were infrequent.

    4/5

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
  • I was given tasks to do myself but due to the nature of the work it meant that a lot of guidance was required and work was regularly checked/changed.

    3/5

  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • The skills learned will be of great benefit in giving me a head start when I hopefully join the company next year.

  • 3/5

  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?
  • We are given a final interview at the end of the placement with feedback from the placement given to the partner and that decides whether or not we get the job.
