    The Role

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

    • To begin with it was a struggle as I had never worked a full time job before or lived away from home. The people here were excellent and before I new it I was a fully fledged member of the team and having an excellent time!

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

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