    4/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • My manager was generally willing to include me as much as I could in projects. Obviously interns do not run The Walt Disney Company. However, most managers will give you the time and little insights into how the business is run.

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

    • There are key lessons I will take from my placement namely; attention to detail, organisation and carrying a positive attitude. Applicability of these skills to university is yet to be seen, However these lessons will be used in the future.

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • I was the first intern in my role, so not perfect start to me. However other teams seem to have more structured procedures in place.

    4/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
