The Role
A very well thought and structured placement. I worked as a Marine Marketing Technician and had a good mentor who guided me through everything.
Cummins as a business treat you like a normal working employee and not just a "head-count" as some other organisation would. I was given real jobs that make an impact to the business and this made me feel very valuable to the organisation.
I had a weekly face-to-face meeting with my business and the guidance was spot on!
I was very busy but I valued every second of it!
I was given many responsibilities and grew me as a person. There were some responsibilities that lead to me working with regional leaders and attending meetings with company directors which was a shock.
Time management, people-skill, my personality has grown, more organised, confident, literate computing skills and I received technical training on engines!
The Company
The atmosphere is the office was like any other atmosphere in a cooperate business. It was busy but I perform best when I'm surrounded with people who make noise and are constantly moving.
It was 60% organised. The reason why I haven't give it a 100% is because the 60% was for me to organise what I wanted to learn from my placement.
The company has invested a lot in me by putting me in training and allowing me to visit customers and attend trade shows. It helped me build new connection and be exposed to different markets in the business.
