Intern Review

Daily morning meeting, after this would not have anything to do unless I was tasked with something which very rarely happened. I would ask for work and would rarely have any given to me. I was told by my supervisor that he does not want me to go and shadow other people in the company as apparently I did not have the time for it.

Learnt a few new programs but none of which will be useful for my future.

No, I was given one project where I was lead to believe I would take full responsibility of. However, I was very closely supervised while undertaking this project to the point where I felt I was just a puppet doing someone else's work rather than doing it myself.

Support was given when asked for

Very mixed. After speaking to many interns in my years cohort it was very clear not many people enjoyed their job and none of them were very motivated. Out of about 20-30 interns I only spoke with 2 who said they enjoy what they are doing. I know it has put a lot of people off going into the automotive industry including myself

I did not enjoy it at all. After my third week I started counting down the weeks I had left which turned into counting down the days as I got closer to leaving. If I had not been tied down to an accommodation contract I would have left.

No

Be careful when applying, you will probably not be doing what your job description tells you. Below are what some of the interns have done for their year here: Empty bins Order work wear Sit about until asked to do a task which very rarely came Move cars about for people to do analysis These are all different roles, not the same one.
