    The Role

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

    • Etc Venues in Tower Hill was a very comfortable place to undertake the placement. The 7City and ROI tutors provided enough interactive material to keep us occupied.

    4/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

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

    • Information on our rotation was delayed and we are still yet to know which of the two rotations we are due to start first. Our supervisors were easy to get hold of though.

    2/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • Looking back on the placement I think that we did not have nearly enough work to do to keep us occupied.

    1/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • 2/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • The training we undertook is to help us in our work roles. I am still completely in the dark as to what my work role will be, so I cannot say whether the training will be beneficial to me or not.

    4/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • ROI Training and 7City were very good and so I felt that RBS invested heavily in contracting the training to them
