    The Role

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

    • Really loved my placement here at JNB. Everything I did was relevant to my uni course, they gave me training which would enhance my career and were very understanding about the balance between work and uni life.

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

    • Everyone I met over the year was really helpful and friendly. I was respected and a member of the team from day one, Never treated any different for being a placement. When ever I wasn't sure of something everyone was always willing to help.

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

    • The support I received from my buddy and line manager was great from start to finish. I was given a lot of one on one time and learnt lots from many of the seniors. You always feel supported and guided because when you start you get given a buddy who is with you all the way and helps you with any questions you may have.

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

    • Very busy but everyone always made time to make sure I was ok and able to do the work load I was given,

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

    • I was given loads of responsibility's but if you are like me and love to learn and not afraid to get stuck in then JN Bentley would be the right place for you. I have friends who was also on a placement year and was just shadowing but at JN Bentley you get to learn how to do the task on site then get left to try it yourself and it improved my skills massively.

    5/5
  • 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 got on my placement I know I will take with me throughout my career and were extremely useful. The training was always something that I no longer will need to get when I leave uni as JN Bentley have already provide me with the tickets to get me started on site.

    5/5
