    The Role

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

    • I was given the opportunity to get involved with various hands on projects, and been able to make a real difference in the plant. I have treated like a full time employee, and have been given real engineering tasks and responsibility. No shortage of opportunities

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

    • I had an excellent team, that made me feel welcome and at home. They became my family and security blanket during my placement. I was very rearly made to feel like just the intern, and was treated with the upmost respect.

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

    • They were very focused on my development, making sure I was given tasks that would aid my knowledge growth and development as a person. Everyone was very supportive and patience. Everyone was willing to help me, when asked. Never made to feel like I'd asked a stupid question.

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

    • The skills I've learnt during my placement will carry on with me through not only my career, but in life as well. The skills I’ve developed and the projects I’ve been able to get involved with will help me stand out in the crowd, during future career opportunities.
