Responsibilities
Felt like I was given lots of responsibility from the start of my placement and at times where I felt like I was not being challenged, I was able to communicate this and management responded well by offering me more opportunities/projects to get involved with.
Support & Guidance
Had a weekly 1-2-1 with my manager. Was also assigned a mentor of a similar age from a different department which was good to have someone to talk to outside of the department. Had support network of other placement students and graduates
Culture
Positive working environment - large emphasis on working together and supporting each other. General atmosphere - everyone at factory very friendly and welcoming. Always felt included, could be more diverse.
