The Role
Had a fantastic year.
I felt very valued particularly regarding help with PC skills
They were supportive as and when I required help
I was always busy, but never felt I had too much on to cope with.
I was given many projects which I ran completley by myself and led to big impacts within the company
I feel particularly regarding my communication and interpersonal skills the placement greatly helped, however there was a lack of technical knowledge required.
The Company
Everyone was generally very happy and energetic.
The structure of my year was very well planned and explained to me
During the year I attended over 15 different training sessions.
Subsidised/Company Gym
Company Parties/Events
Above 25 days holiday
Unfortunatley the company are not taking on Graduates next year due to financial difficulties. Hopefully this will only be temporary.
The Culture
Got on really well with all the other placement students and attended different social activities with them
I managed to live at home during my placement year keeping my costs low.
Near Coventry and Birmingham, both of which have a good night life.
There were many opportunities we were encouraged to get involved with such as charity work and social events.
