yes
Responsibilities
Yes within the first week, we got involved with real client work. This give us true insight into what we can expect from the role and we also learnt loads since we had more senior people working on the same job, willing to give us help and advice to help us further our on the job learning.
Support & Guidance
Lots! No question was too basic or too silly. Everyone wanted to help and see us learn and improve our skills. We had training sessions at the start of the internship but as we built our skills we moved onto working on real client work, being assigned a buddy we could call upon for help at any time.
Culture
Very friendly. The way everything is structured is such that everyone has someone more senior than them they can ask for help which means there is a great atmosphere for team work, collaboration and teaching. We had lots of social events as well like rounders, football and team lunches.
Your Impressions
I couldn't have asked for more. It was everything I was looking for out of an internship and more. I just wish it was for longer than just 8 weeks.
Yes
They love people who are good teachers/ explainers, so maybe get some teaching experience.
