    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?
  • Working at Enterprise was extremely fun, you work alongside very friendly people who are all very ambitious. I was able to learn lots more about working for a large business and the way a business runs and the challenges presented at times. Enterprise helped me become a more confident and organized person which are two vital competencies to have.

    4/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?
  • I always felt like everybody was willing to help me progress and very complementary when I succeeded. I most certainly felt valued and my colleagues and I would always look out for each other and congratulate one another.

    4/5

  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?
  • Regular training was very helpful and made you aware of what was expected of you. There were also regular updates from our Area manager as to where we stood in relation to the area, this is very motivating and raised light competitiveness throughout.

    4/5

  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?
  • Most of the time quite busy in and out of the branch however not too busy that you don't feel capable. Everybody likes a challenge.

    4/5

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
  • I was given responsibility from the start, from ringing reservations to checking in cars. Responsibility is a big factor at Enterprise helping you gain confidence and ownership.

    4/5

  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • They have helped me to understand different leadership styles and how to become more resilient to certain things in a business. Communication skills are always important and these are constantly improving when using telephones on a regular basis and working face-to-face with customers. The skills I have developed are very beneficial to completing my degree and helping me become more ambitious and aware of things I like and dislike.
