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

    • I was assigned a mentor in each department I worked in, I always had someone who I could go to for support and guidance. I never felt like I couldn't ask for help!

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

    • Each department I worked in has very different daily tasks and projects but I always had something to work on. Not only did the work load enable me to learn a vast amount of information, it also made the days fly by quickly.

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

    • I was very surprised at how much responsibility I was given right from the start, within days I was producing my own work and sending out Reports to colleagues in the company. This level of responsibility provided me with a sense of ownership over the work I produced.

    4/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • The placement was an invaluable experience, I never expected to learn so much about finance and it has been the perfect platform for setting me up for my last year of University.
