    The Role

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

    • It was the best year of my life so far, it pushed me to think differently, challenge myself and also know myself worth. Computacenter invested in me and i invested in them. I definitely would recommend them.

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

    • I always felt valued and they aways gave time to me if I didn't understand something, they also would explain things differently if needed due to my lack of experience within IT. They also listen to my point of view.

    5/5

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

  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • It could have been more organized in turns of my rotation due to some departments not knowing I was leaving to move on when I was or not being ready for me in turns of work to do but the working world isn't also as structured as we would like.

    3/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • I went one once training course during my time at CC, however, I knew other Placement students that went one more I think it was all down to what was needed for your role in the business.
