    The Role

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

    • The placement was great! I had a really good project that allowed me to develop into a variety of roles. The Abingdon technology centre I was based in was very friendly and living in Didcot wasn't that bad.

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

    • I was working on a solo project with support from a subject matter expert which made me feel valued within the context of the project. The team I was working in was also very friendly.
