  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • Rather than guidance the work was more designed to be challenging, so I had to discover things on my own, but people in the office are more than happy to help when asked

    4/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • I developed a lot of programming skills which I think in any job related to this career area will be massively important. Also received training on excel, learnt about formal and professional presentation.
