    The Role

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

    • It was a great year. I learnt so much that I can take forward into my future career, and I am very thankful to E.ON for the opportunity. The office was very welcoming and friendly and made me feel at home from the start.

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

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

    • If I ever needed any help or guidance my manger was always there to support me.

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

    • On a daily basis there was always work to do, but I would not find my self consumed in work on a daily basis. Often certain weeks of the month would be much busier then others. The placement is very much you get what you put in.

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

    • There was significant responsibility, in some cases the work I was doing was shown to stakeholders across the company. Other times, work that I contributed to directly affected senior executive decisions.

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

    • Very much so, the placement has helped me put the theory I learnt during my degree into practice, and has really helped to set me up for the career path I want to follow.

    5/5

    The Culture

    4/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • I lived in Loughborough which was about 25 minutes away from the power station. Living costs in Loughborough are relatively cheap, and houses can be found from around 65 - 90 pounds a week.

    4/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • Not to bad, I went on a few work nights out. There are plenty of places to go, Loughborough is a 西瓜视频 town with lots of clubs and bars, and Nottingham and Leicester are close by as well.

    4/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • Yes, there is plenty to do around work. Ratcliffe also has a football team that plays every Wednesday.
