    The Role

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

    • It has been a great experience so far. I am learning something new everyday and the company push me to better my self.

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

    • The best part is not being treated like an intern, instead as another employee when trusted with projects.

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

    • I am given plenty of support from both my manager and supervisor. We have regular meetings to see where I am at and how I am doing.

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

    • As I provide support, some days can be a bit slow though this gives me time to work on my individual project.

    4/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • I was given plenty of responsibility being trusted to carry out projects without any assistance, though it's good to know there is someone always there willing to help.

    5/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • I believe my skills were developed tremendously. Some of the skills I have learnt will help me in the future as these are some things I would not learn in a classroom. The experience will also help me with my final year dissertation.

    5/5

    5/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • Initially we had a lot of training to teach us how to use tools and software which I am sure will benefit me in the future. I was also allowed to do external courses and certificates.
