    The Role

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

    • I was working in a very good team within client businesses. I was given task I had to complete and got support from my manager and the team whenever I needed. It was challenging and exciting at the same time.

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

    • The team itself has a very unique feel from my first few hours I could see that most colleagues were like friends. It was a great environment to work in.

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

    • My manager ensured I was always alright and we scheduled for weekly catch ups. He really was interested in what I was learning and how he could support me.

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

    • At the early stage I was given two projects to work on but for me to do so I had to understand the business and understand the team I was working in. I probably didn't start working full on until the 3rd or 4th week of my internship.

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

    • I was in charge of my own project I could work on it how and when I wanted. All I had to do was deliver it at the end of the internship.

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

    • Time management and presentation skills are so crucial. I will definitely take these skills back to uni.

    5/5

    • As I previously mentioned the team came across like family and always had something to laugh about.

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