    The Role

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

    • I'll be continuing with the company during my final year and up I will also be returning when I graduate.

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

    • I think this depends on the team you were placed with. In my case I got on really well with the team and they were friendly and always helpful. They were always willing to answer questions helping me to improve my understanding of the business and the way they provide services to clients.

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

    • Although the team were really helpful generally this came through people filling in as my manager was, on the vast majority of occasions, too busy to see me.

    • I always had something to do but I could also have handled more

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

    • As mentioned in previous comments we were given responsibility from the start and this gradually improved with quality. By the end of my internship I definitely felt like a valuable member of the team.
