    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?
  • It has been a wonderful experience that gave me the opportunity to work in the industry (Real work experience). Despite being given a role I knew nothing about prior to joining, I have received support, knowledge and new skillsets from my colleagues. A lot of development opportunities are available for students, such as training courses.

    4/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?
  • I feel tremdously valued by my colleagues. This is reflected in the recognitions I received and the days out with colleagues outside of working hours. Computacenter are also very willing to help students with work relating to their University. For example, if it's a project or dissertation that's relating to the organisation, the people at Computacenter will be lending a helping hand at providing information about the company and guidance.

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

    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 think my skills had developed tremendously over the 14 months I was in Computacenter. Such as time management, communication, confidence and problem solving. I've also received training in Emotional Intelligence, Assertiveness, Influencing and Persuading, Excel Intermediate and Developing Presentation Skills. Overall I think each skill I gained and course I attended will assist me greatly in the future as they will be applicable to all sort of roles and situations.
