  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • Was given repsonsibilities on top of my day to day role to enable me to work with colleagues outside of my immediate team. Was given the resposibility of organising training sessions for new starters, so I had a project which I completely owned.

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

    • I will find the skills gained during this placement extremely useful when applying for and starting new jobs. I also feel that they will help me to organise my work load better and prioritise my time in my final year of university
