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

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

    • My workload was varied throughout my year. Sometimes I could be non stop and other times I could be without much to do. However you can make enough work for yourself as there is always something to get involved if you want to.

    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 undertook a training programme for interns which I found really useful. Other than that the skills I have developed during my year will certainly put me in good stead for a graduate role.
