    The Role

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

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

    • The exciting part of my daily schedule was that I could determine how busy I wanted to be on a daily basis because we had tools to help manage how time and schedules, which I honestly think is incredible.

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