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

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

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

    • The internship I undertook stands out on my CV and has given me plenty of experience which I have used in applications for other work. Enteprise gave me greater confidence and enhanced my sales skills.
