    The Role

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

    • 4/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • Never felt like I was treated differently for being an intern, my opinion was valued and taken into consideration

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

    • My supervisor checked in on me regularly, always made sure I was comfortable with what I was doing and was always available to answer my questions no matter how silly

    5/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • Because most of my role consisted on a project I was developing individually so I pretty much controlled my work flow

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

    • 4/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • Working really close with directors I had the opportunity to closely watch and learn about the ins and outs of an international business and understand the making of strategic decisions that impact the whole business. There is also a great online learning platform available to everyone where you can take courses on a large variety of courses not necessarily related to your internship or Verizon.
