Overview
It varies for each placement student but, usually, you are assigned to a project and will undergo tasks set my your team that contribute towards the completion of that project. Projects can last anywhere from a few weeks to the whole duration of your placement with tasks usually varying in nature. Tasks usually involve daily interactions internally within your team and the responsibilities you have can often align with responsibilities of full time workers within the company.
Skills
I've developed my time management as I have had to manage the work hours I am contracted to work alongside external commitments giving me a sense of routine and pattern to my work week. I've also learnt important company values that will help me in the future regardless of whether I stay at this company or go elsewhere. I've also learnt efficient communication from having to communicate daily with my team members and the ability to adapt to any problems that arise on the fly. In addition, I've had the opportunity to learn and develop my skills in a range of programs that will be really beneficial to me in the future.
Responsibilities
I was given a healthy amount of responsibility with a gradual increase in the amount I had to take on as time went on. My team members were especially useful to me always giving me guidance when needed but also not spoon feeding me so that I had a chance to develop and grow my own skills independently.
Support & Guidance
I received plenty of support and guidance and could not ask for more. Any question I had was always directed to the people who knew the answer making the placement a very good and healthy experience.
Culture
There is a really good atmosphere and company culture with the discipline I was part of being very friendly to each other. They were also very welcoming to me and always invited me to any events they had planned always making sure that I felt welcomed and part of the team.
Your Impressions
I thoroughly enjoyed my placement and in the future will look to see if I am able to join the company on a permanent basis.
Yes
The advice I would give would be to make the most of every opportunity given to you, and to always take part in anything they offer. Make sure to get as much as you can out of the experience to further the knowledge you get out of the placement.
