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

    • I had significant responsibility in my internship, far more than I anticipated. This is a definite advantage of working for an SME, and it contributes to an atmosphere in which you really learn.

    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 feel I am a very more capable individual after my internship, there is a real dedicated atmosphere at Golfbreaks and you become fully integrated into target strategies. The close exposure to people higher in the company hierarchy and a real sense of responsibility offers a great learning environment, which increases in involvement as the internship progresses, I would recommend Golfbreaks to everyone.
