The Role
I really enjoyed this placement, it has really enabled me to build on numerous skills and built my confidence to a greater level! I am ready for the working world!
I felt really comfortable around my colleagues, they always made sure I had all the support needed for my role.
My managers have been great, they have been so supportive and guided me in right way to ensure I am able to develop my future career goals.
I was fairly busy on a daily basis, was given quite big responsibilities and people relied on my work.
Great responsibilities, I had to participate in alot of meetings and give my input. Was given actions to complete for which the team relied upon!
I definitely think I have built skills throughout this year that will help me in the future and beyond! Its been a great experience and I would recommend any student to carry out a placement year as it opens up so many opportunities! Also looks great on your CV!
