    The Role

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

    • The openness of the company made it easy to approach people when I had questions and I had a lot of them too. Everyone was willing to help and also wanted to know about what we were passionate about. There was a lot of focus on our own development, being able to get the best out of the internship.

    5/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • Its very easy to be incorporated here, I didn't feel like a stranger at all

    5/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • My mentor was great because she made sure that there was always a source of help available. There was a lot of focus on individual development and the focus was more on the individual rather than the company

    5/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • We took part in a number of projects and other day to day work, so on average there was a perfect balance as there was always time to do all of the things that we were tasked to do.

    4/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • I had quite a lot of responsibility, close to as much as a normal person doing the same role which was great because I was able to challenge myself in that capacity

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

    • I was privileged to come in with some background knowledge from a similar position, so it was easier for me to develop the skills which I already had. In terms of assistance with my degree I was able to get a practical insight into the industry which I am studying to be a part of.
