    The Role

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

    • at first i started in a business support department and i felt the work that i did, did not provide much added value to the company or my team, then i moved to training delivery which was more dynamic and I was more integrated into an actual team where I was pushed more to do a greater range of tasks, with tangible results at the end making the job far more enjoyable.
