    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?

    • A lot, the day completely flew by!

    5/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • Not quite “like family”, but still very well for people who only just met as complete strangers.

    4/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • We didn't get too much support when doing the project, but that was actually very helpful because it made us think a lot more for ourselves. Which I guess is more like the real situation in a workplace, you're not going to be spoon-fed all the time and need to work independently all the time.

    • Well on the one day, it was really very busy.
