The Role
I've enjoyed the year that I've had, it's given me the chance to learn a lot more programming skills as well as soft skills that you gain through working in a large company
An aspect that I've loved about this placement is that I also consider my colleagues friends.
All you have to do is ask, if your stuck or are wanting to be involved in more asking would open the floodgates. Also your early placement manger will always be around to push you to meet others at explore different areas of the business.
There was never a day that I had nothing to do
I was given the opportunity to contribute to existing projects as well as start and manage my own stretch project.
I was able to develop my technical skills this year which will really impact my final year of university.
