    The Role

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

    • Really fun summer working with great people. Given lots of responsibilties and oppotunities over the summer making it a really enjoyable and benificial internship.

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

    • Everyone really friendly and keen to help you out. One of the best things about the internship has been working with and alongside really great people. You are very much treated as equal from the start, even my boss i feel has really valued and listen to my opions and thoguhts through out the summer.

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

    • I was doing a project that involved being out of the office for some time during the summer and i was working directly for a NAC who dosnt have alot of free time so i have probably got less guidence than others. However the feedback i was given was really good and one of the best things about the internship is that you are expected to get on and do things.

    4/5
