    The Role

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

    • Such a good and fun environment to work in whilst motivating with much room to grow. I couldn't have asked for a better year with better colleagues.

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

    • I was given so much responsibility throughout my year and trusted by full time employees to carry out important tasks. They really valued me as a team member

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

    • The support was second to none. I felt entirely comfortable with my team and guided every step of the way whilst given room to stand on my own two feet. If I had any problems I knew I could trust them to be solved.

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

    • As I grew confident in my role I was given more responsibility and I grew busier as I tried to complete all tasks to the best of my ability. There were periods that were much busier than others but I was never ever bored.

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

    • I was solely responsible for some areas the team covered and having this gave me a sense of pride in my role. I couldn't have asked for a better delegation of tasks.

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

    • I have learnt skills for life whilst making friends for life. I will take all the knowledge and useful skills I know with me in my graduate role and beyond. I am going back into my final year with so much readiness and preparation to ace it.

    5/5
