    The Role

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

    • Despite Covid making an in person internship impossible Centrica made sure we were all kept in the loop and supported throughout. I felt like they could have completely abandoned us but instead they ran interesting workshops and arranged 1 to 1 zoom calls.

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

    • They could not have been more supportive. Kept us really in the loop and made sure there were lots of communication routes available should we have questions.

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

    • As before, the supervisors were really helpful (a particular thank you to Abhishek who was super lovely).

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

    • Not really applicable as the majority of the internship was cancelled due to covid-19 restrictions so it was instead a series of workshops

    1/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • Again, the internship was technically cancelled so not really applicable but I have rated it highly because of feb amount of participation. Everyone was keen to hear our thoughts and ideas on the workshops being run and the graduate opportunities.

    4/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • I think that the main skills developed were widely applicable as they were in communication confidence. Right from the interview stages I felt pushed to be confident and get involved

    4/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?

    • Was all workshop based and online but everyone was very welcoming

    4/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • They coped well and were very adaptive and flexible given the Covid circumstances. However, obviously the pandemic meant that there was a limited chance for pre-planning

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