    • I was given excellent support by my supervisor who met with me at least once a week for a one to one meeting on how I was getting on, to run through what we both were working on and check I was ok with my work and had enough to do. My supervisor also helped me develop my CV and helped with looking at possible jobs and skills I would need for jobs after the internship.
