    The Role

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

    • I really enjoyed my placement year at HPE, there was always something for the interns to get involved with, and this gave me a lot of different experiences in the company. I was also supported in my development. HPE is very supportive of their interns.

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

    • I felt valued by my colleagues. Every team is different however.

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

    • I was given a lot of support and guidance by not only my manager but the wider early careers team, they were very helpful. I was given the support to learn new skills and develop myself.

    2/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • I was given a large amount of responsibility, I felt like a real employee. The roles at HPE do not seem like the stereotypical intern roles, you are involved in real meaningful work!

    3/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • The placement year has taught me so much, I am now in a great position to go back to university and apply for graduate roles with all of the skills I have developed. I received great training that has helped me to be more confident and ready for the workplace.
