The Role
I really enjoyed my placement at Honda. Everyone in the company were approachable and accomodating, which enabled me to gain the best work experience for my placement year.
My supervisor provided me with a lot of support, and pushed me to gain more skills throughout my placement which has been incredibly helpful, and boosted my confidence in the work environment. As long as you are prepared to ask for help and guidance, you will get it!
During my placement we were given incredible amounts of responsability, to the point where I felt like a full valued member of the team who was trusted with their own projects and tasks.
I started my placement with no work experience and little knowledge of my role, however Honda taught me a tremendous amount, and I am now looking forward to using this as theory in my degree and using the skills I have aqcuired in practice. I feel comfortable and confident in applying for future vacancies as I know that I have the skills they require for my field.
