The Role
Was a great year out of university and a excellent experience of what to expect when you graduate uni life
I felt like I was a vital part of the team and the department.
Great support was always available whether it was regarding personal, work or university.
Non stop
A lot more than I was expecting, I was looking for responsibility and they gave me it.
A great deal, it is helping me with my final year modules, dissertation and I will always be able to reflect and touch upon on my experiences during this year.
The Company
Great atmosphere especially the team, we knew when to work and when we can have a laugh. With 100+ other students taking on the placement there was always something going on.
Very organised, helped people move into the area.
They gave presentations and courses you can go to to develop skills.
National Travel
Company Parties/Events
Great prospects if you would like to pursue a job in automotive industry and at Vauxhall.
The Culture
Great, there was always something going on with 100 odd other students in the same situation as you.
Luton is one of the cheaper places...
Not great but the people you go with makes it worthwhile, also a direct train to London is available.
Various activities are available out side the work place. e.g. Football, running..
