    The Role

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

    • Really well organised with a clear structure and it was easy to transition between different parts of the day

    4/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • Really good ice breaker activities and quizzes every morning with some fun questions - maybe some time to meet interns (other than just case study groups) would have improved the social aspect of the internship

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

    • Lots - always had someone to answer questions. Opportunity for a 1-1 buddy session was great and a group mentor for case study presentation was very helpful!

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

    • Busy taking in lots of information but not too much actual work (1-2 hours on case study every day). I think this was fine and understandable given the duration of the internship and the fact that it has been virtual.

    3/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • I would say the responsibility was limited due to the nature of the internship this year. The case study was a good opportunity to mimic the kind of work you would have in the actual job

    2/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • Lots of learning in the week so definitely gained some skills for life. Skills for the workplace such as presenting, but also skills for a better quality of life all round through mindfulness sessions
