    The Role

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

    • Loved the internship, had a lot of fun. At times it was challenging, but I made it through. What I liked about was the fact that they taught us everything from the ground up, from the smallest details to the most advanced concepts. Overall, it was a very steep learning curve and I enjoyed it a lot
