    The Role

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

    • I did enjoy the placement, however the project areas I could work on were restricted

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

    • Nearly everyone treated me as any other employee. I would encourage undergraduates to be valued as any other employee.

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

    • Good support. My manager was often very busy and not in the office but support from other members of my team was great when my manager was absent.

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

    • I have never felt I have nothing to do.

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

    • I was given a fair bit of responsibility but i would have liked to have more.

    4/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • In comparison to other undergraduates I feel I have not gained as many technical skills as I would have liked due to the nature of my work. However I have been on many useful training courses and overall I have a much better view on the working world going back to university.

    4/5

    • I think there are a few areas to work on but E.ON are addressing these

    4/5

    4/5
