    The Role

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

    • ProspectSoft is like a great big family, and with any new job, it takes time to settle in and to adjust but with the support and genuinely great people at ProspectSoft, I really feel like part of the ProspectSoft family now and this has made my placement a lot more enjoyable.

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

    • With many of the ProspectSoft members of Staff being past placements, it was easy to relate to them and they had a much better understanding of how I felt and what I was hoping to ahcive from my work placement. Through the Placement Academy, it is a great way for ProspectSoft to recognise your achievements.
