Lots of new experiences, but lots of paperwork.
Yes I felt valued - I played an important role in the company.
I was always supported by management from day 1.
Varied depending on time of the year, some quite periods but also some busy periods.
Total responsibility for my sectrion of work, but shadowing professionals.
Learnt many new skills and information needed for my final year of study.
The Company
Cheerful and busy
Very organised, mentor handover and full induction. Supported throughout.
I was offered free, unlimited training at my choice and also certified qualifications in my spare time were paid for.
Flexi Time
Subsidised/Company Gym
Very appealing, although possibilities are slim.
The Culture
I was the only placement student
I was still in shared student accommodation so it was normal price.
I worked on the edge of time in a quite area.
Some health and fitness activities were arranged.
