    5/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued during your time at the company or firm?

    5/5
  • 3. How much guidance/support did you receive during the insight?

    • The academy was mostly coaching based which meant that we were encouraged to evaluate ourselves rather than getting specific feedback. This was strange at first but was by the end of the academy the advantages were definitely clear.

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

    • I don't think the skills will be that relevant to my degree, however I think I can use what it have learnt about leadership in everyday situations as well as later in a job.

    5/5
