  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • The company hasn't told anyone they definitely have a job but has encouraged all of us to apply and said that this year will extremely help our applications.

    5/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?

    • Fellow students were all encouraged to get to know each other and there is the AgustaWestland Apprentice and Student Association, which was brilliant for meeting and socialising with people our own age. Otherwise Yeovil is very quiet and there's not much to do.

    5/5

    • Accomodatoion was a good price compared to student places in Bristol and there is a big Tesco and a weatherspoons pub.

  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • Pleanty of stuff to get involved with the AgustaWestland Apprentice and Student Association.
