    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?
  • Very nice atmosphere at the office/site. Other employees made time to work with me and helped me to champion my project. I saw the outcome of the work I was responsible for what gave me a sense of achievement.

    4/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?
  • Whenever I was stuck my colleagues were always supportive of me. I was able to present my findings and I had feedback from them.

    5/5

  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?
  • I was given a clear aim from the beginning. As the placement progressed I was able to challenge my goals and was given all the support required if my ideas were justifiable. However, a lot of the time I had to motivate myself and set goals that directed me to that aim myself.

    4/5

  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?
  • My project often depended on availability of my colleagues. Therefore, sometimes it was very busy and some other times it was not busy at all. However, I always managed to find some work for myself.

    4/5

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
  • I was given a high amount of responsibility. I was responsible for building screens supervising performance of a power station. In addition I conducted financial analysis of my Department's assets and came up with a strategy to recover costs through new assignment of charges to the engine running regime hours.

    5/5

  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • Skills I developed are more likely to help me with my future career rather than my studies. However, my experience with E.ON helped me to realise what career path I would like to take. Furthermore, it enabled me to develop a new, more industrial-specific perception on the University's curriculum.
