    The Role

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

    5/5

    4/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • The team were extremely busy but they made a point of going through tasks with you and guiding you throughout them or if they tried to make you more independent in a task they would give support when needed.

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

    • I was always busy with a long list of things to do but that was the nature of the role I was in and the whole team were also just as busy. I didn't mind this too much as I liked the fast-paceness and it encouraged me to finish my tasks more efficiently.

    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 and training will be invaluable to me, they have already helped me in my final year and in my short term placement. I feel as though I have a greater understanding of the industry I am studying in and the practical aspects of it and how to act and work in the working environment.
