    About You

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy the insight?

    • I really really enjoyed teaching experience and working with disabled children

    4/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued during your time at the company or firm?

    • I was treated with respect by all other adults but didn't really feel like I was needed there (which is understandable). They had to "make up" some tasks for me to do.

    4/5
  • 3. How much guidance/support did you receive during the insight?

    • Any questions or queries I had we always answered honestly. Didn't really get much guidance

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

    • It definitely helped solidify my interest in teaching and gave me more focus for it

    4/5

    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?

    • Didn't really have structure, I was given a timetable but I didn't teach that much, many sat in in lessons.

    2/5
  • 6. How was the general atmosphere during your insight?

    • It was very fun, especially working with the disabled children

    4/5
  • 7. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • I made a few power points but I already could do that before I was there.

    1/5
  • 8. To what extent did the insight help you to understand what it would be like to have a full time role with the company or firm?

    • I already knew what it would be like as I was still a pupil in school so from my own experience. They gave some insight into the extra work behind just teaching

    4/5
  • 9. How much did the insight help you in understanding the company culture?

    • Not really.

    1/5
  • 10. How valuable was the content in helping you to decide on your future career path?

    • 5/5

    Everything Else

  • 11. Were you paid or reimbursed adequately for this experience?

    • Wasn't any (n/a for this type of experience)

    0/5
  • 14. Did you find out about activities that employees can get involved in outside of work?

    • No.

    0/5
