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

    • They were not afraid to give me many responsibilities and enjoyed this as it aided my development and gave me the opportunity to display my skills.

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

    • I not only learnt about engineering and manufacturing, but also many other skills that are transferable (eg. man-management, presentation, project management etc.)

    5/5

    The Company

    • They were great to work with and made my work enjoyable but also were focussed and professional when work was required.

    4/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • The scheme has been running for many years and they appear to have a setup which works well - everything was well-organised.

    5/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • I attended a number of meetings and presentations to aid my development and I was encouraged to register for training courses.

    5/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

    • 3/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • I was offered a job but they told me to keep in contact and ask about jobs when I finish university.

    3/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?

    • As the placements students were well-spread across the organisation, I wasn't always easy to organise group outings but a few did happen over the year.

    3/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • I did not live in the area but I found it to be reasonably priced if I did have to buy anything.

    3/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • I did not really go to the night-life in Eastleigh so I am unable to comment.

    3/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • Some of the employees did take trips at the weekends and there was a football night.
