    The Role

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

    • Such a big range of opportunities and experiences available over the course of the internship. I was treated like a full-time employee so was given lots of projects to do, so it really is hands-on. You really get pushed to try your best and work hard, and as a result of that it really helps to develop such a wide range of skills.

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

    • I was treated like an integral part of the team. I was always supported and my ideas were really valued, and my team were wonderful so I fit right in and enjoyed every day.

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

    • There was a lot of support from my managers and were always there to help me with any issues I was facing, even during really busy periods of the day, so there was always someone to help me out. The support system is incredible and there is always someone happy to help even if they're not on your team.
