    The Role

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

    • I learned a lot from my time at GForces. They were very supportive by ensuring I got the most out of my placement time. They allowed me experience the departments that I felt would benefit me the most. They are very fun and sociable company and that is very evident by all the great staff that work there.

    4/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • Although it took a little time to adjust, it was very clear from the beginning that I was part of the team. There was no stigma attached to being an intern. Your are given just as much opportunity to prove yourself as any other member of staff.

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

    • Throughout the whole process I was fully supported by my line managers and HR managers. From my day to day jobs or any problems that would occur during the placement. They have a very strong support system.

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

    • Weeks would definitely vary. Due to the industry, it meant that different months were busier than others but there definitely was always a constant stream of work to be doing.

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

    • There is a lot of responsibility. The tasks you are given are not created for the sake of an experience. From the start you are integrated with the daily running’s of the business. So depending on the department you work in, your work represents the company.

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

    • Without any doubt I have learned more in the past five months than I have in my previous years at University. It has been a great insight to the working world. It was a priceless experience to be part of a growing business that is at the top of its industry.

    5/5
