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

    • The process and organisation of the scheme was seamless. I was the first Industrial Placement student in my department and therefore there was not a set structure for me. My line manager however was well prepared and had a plan of my first month. From there we discussed what I would like to achieve and pulled a plan together between us.

    5/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • I was allowed to attend courses, seek out different opportunities to experience and my line manager even put me in contact with other areas of the business for after my placement had finished. On top of this we had four training days an IP group.
