    The Role

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

    • Thoroughly enjoyed my placement, the work is interesting and there are many opportunities for challenges and self development.

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

    • Never treated as an intern, always treated as a true member of the team. My opinion is always valued within the team.

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

    • My Manager has been extremely supportive since the start of my placement. Weekly 1:1's give me the opportunity to raise any issues, though she's always around if I have any problems. I feel comfortable going to my manager with any issues.

    5/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • At times I felt I didn't have enough to occupy myself, but as the months have progressed I have taken on more work to fill my time, giving me the challenges I need, but also have sufficient support from management to ensure I am not over-worked.

    4/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • At first I was given an appropriate amount of responsibility, but as the months have developed this has gradually increased. I now own processes and have a great deal of responsibility.

    5/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • Whilst the skills I have learnt may not necessarily directly help with my degree I have learnt a lot of life skills. Time management, presentation skills, and simple things like learning how to construct an effective email will remain throughout my career.

    5/5
