    The Role

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

    • The day was really enjoyable and I quickly felt at ease with everyone.

    5/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • There was a lot of teamwork so everyone had to get stuck in and my team got on really well.

    5/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • The facilitator that worked alongside us helped us out whenever we were stuck and made the day run smoothly.

    5/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • There was a reasonable amount for us to do during the day however it was hard to keep everyone focused all the time so if we were slightly busier we would not have had this issue.

    4/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • There was plenty of responsibility to take on if you wanted to. Everyone had a role within the team so it was up to you on how much you wanted to be involved in, which was a good balance.

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

    • I think the skills developed during the insight day will help greatly in the future. Being able to get on with new people and work well in a team will help even in day-to-day life.
