    4/5

  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?
  • I felt that it was badly organised at the beginning with many managers not aware of what was expected of an intern. This could have been better organised. However nearer the end of the internship managers seemed to receive a little more inforamtion from HR. There were intern events however which were well organised.
