    The Role

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

    • It was by far the best internship I've done. It was very professional and I got as much out of it, if not more, as I put in.

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

    • My colleagues treated me very well, acting as mentors to help me learn as much as possible and stretch me. The tasks given to me made an added difference and I felt fulfilled. I felt I achieved so much in a relatively short time.
