  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • Great variety of work and given a insight into all aspects of the industry. Workload varied yet always had work to keep me busy. Sometimes a large amount of work would come in at once and others work would be a lot less.

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • Great balance, given responsibility to run certain aspects and also treated like a valued member of the team, but thankfully not given so much that I was out of my depth.

    4/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • The skills I have learnt during my 18months here will help my in my return to University and also will help my when I start working life. They will give me an advantage when looking at future graduate programmes and jobs within the Industry. The skills learnt here will enable me to hopefully gain a higher grade than I would of targeted before my placement, this is because of the variety of work and also the help given by each member of the team.
