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

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

    • Many Industrial Placement students have returned & developed within the company.

    The Culture

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

    • The fact there are 16 placement students nicely bridges the gap between University & 'real work'. However, this doesn't limit the opportunity to grow as a professional & experience new things.

    5/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • Reading, Berkshire - affordable given the placement year is paid.

    • Lots of bars & clubs in Reading - situated a 20 minute drive from Panasonic House

    5/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • Representatives organised charity events all year round & a Placement bar crawl takes place multiple times each year involving many placement organisations in the area
