The Role
Superb 10 week experience!
Fantastic team, full of banter and I was well looked after.
Whole placement was very well structured.
Some slower days and some absolutely rammed days - to be expected.
I was given some major tasks to complete that, even though any damage was repairable, were important to the team.
Gained a G-CRED qualification as well as gaining some major skills.
The Company
Fantastic team, typical northern (as am I) full of banter.
Huge amount of time went into this internship.
Gained a G-CRED qualification and some invaluable skills.
Probably will move on to the Graduate Leadership Programme on the Products stream.
The Culture
Isolated due to being in Leeds and the majority of Scholars being in London but there were times we met up etc.
Sheffield/Leeds
Leeds is a fantastic university-based city so the nightlife is superb.
Opportunities for company walks etc.
