  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?
  • When working directly with all the mentors, they were very supportive and quite easy to get along with. They were welcoming and helped me feel comfortable from the first day in thier departments. Management has also been excellent as they have kept in regular contact with us and check in on our progress.

  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?
  • In some departments I found that there was very little to do, and often I had to ask continuously for more work to keep me occupied. However in other departments, the mentors and consultants were very creative and gave me many varied tasks, and in I found I was up to my neck with work to do, which I enjoyed.
