    The Role

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

    • My experience with Nissan was very good, the support received at the beginning and during the year is irreplaceable. I like their idea of : "No question is a stupid question."

    4/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • My colleagues appreciated me, helped me and listen to me. They requested my help, I requested theirs, group work is a very big quality of my department, during work hours and after.

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

    • My manager and senior supported me more than expected, they even helped and advise me how to improve my university report and presentation.

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

    • Over the year I had moments when my work amount was balanced, and it was easy to manage; some times crazy busy, but I enjoyed it because like that I manage to develop my organizational skills. And when I felt over wormed, I asked for support or guidance, which it was received.

    3/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • I got full responsibility over one of the cars, and I got to develop a new system for Nissan. I can honestly say that I was given responsibilities as I would be an engineer, not an IP.

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

    • During the year I developed loads of new technical skills, I can say that I am more employable than I was before.

    4/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • At the beginning was very organized the amount of work given, and everything, after they noticed that I can do my job and I got the almost full responsibility for the car, I had to organize my own work.

    4/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • 3/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • it was hard to find an affordable place to live, but there are IP that manage to find something better that I did. Socialising... sometimes you need to learn to say no, if you want to save up some money.
