    4/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • A good amount for my level I feel. I was responsible for my own audit tests and gathering and compiling data onto the relevant spreadsheets. I also interested personally with clients in a genuine environment which was perhaps the best thing about the internship!

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

    • It gives me a head start on the graduates joining next year as I know how the job works people at the office! Workshops, such as ones on presenting, that I did whilst at GT were extremely helpful and I feel this will benefit me in the future.
