The Role
I genially found this placement to be very enjoyable.
My colleagues were always very supportive and encouraging. They were always on hand to provide guidance.
Support from management was always available. My manager was very approachable.
There was a perfect balance with no dull moments.
I had the opportunity to work on a number of real projects across a number of departments. I had a lot of responsibility from beginning to end.
The skills I gained whilst on placement have massively helped me understand the world of business. In addition I have used the skills developed to help me through my final year.
The Company
The atmosphere was very friendly.
There has been a lot of effort put into the placement program. There was a number of events that enabled interns to gather and get to know each other.
Tech Data CSC have provided a number of training days and workshops for all employee's.
Sports and Social Club
Company Parties/Events
Above 25 days holiday
Tech Data CSC would be a fantastic place to start my career.
The Culture
There is social committee that are dedicated to organising social events such as casino nights and go karting.
York accommodation can be quite expensive but it is a beautiful city.
There was a lot of activities to chose from. The charity and social committee organised events such as BBQ's, sky diving and hot coal walking.
