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

    • The programme only lasted for 3 days, therefore I wouldn't expect to feel like a valued member of the company. However I was made to feel like gaining a place on the programme was a great achievement.

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

    • The information was incredibly valuable. I gained an insight into a range of divisions and was given the opportunity to work shadow. This will help me to make a more informed career choice going forward. In addition, the networking skills I developed and contacts I made will be very useful.
