The Role
I have really enjoyed my time here and dont want to go back to university
I am considered to be part of the team. I am consulted in decisions that afects the department.
I could ask my manager for anything especially new software ! I was able to attend all the training I thought needed for my job.
I was very busy at times and not soo busy at times but I appreicated it when I wasnt soo busy because it allowed me to be reflective and work on my logbook.
I was made project leader for a pilot project.
I was given training on Project Management, Problem Solving, Effective Communication, Team Work, Lean tools, and Exposure to other areas of the Business. Not will I apply the lessons learned to my degree but then also in my career.
The Company
Fun and equally hard working people.
We had alot of training from specialists on Effective Communication, Team Work and even adapting to the Business Enviroment
Subsidised Canteen
Sports and Social Club
Company Parties/Events
The comany is constantly growing.
The Culture
There are many ways to get invloved for example there is the Every Employee Every Community (EEEC) scheme that lets you get invloved in the local community by using four hours of your work time to do some good.
