    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?

    • My placement was very enjoyable. I worked on two client projects and it seemed to be quite in depth in IT at the start but I soon picked it up and was able to progress my own knowledge which helped towards my degree and help the client at the same time.
