The Role
I enjoyed the work placement greatly, the roles I worked in have provided great experience but they aren't roles I would pursue in the future. However, my time within the company has provided me with exposure to departments I would want to work within.
Valued in the correct way, friendly and professional.
More than I could of hoped for, the door was always open for questions or advice.
Variance at different times of the month. High volume of work during the beginning and end of months, a little quiter during the middle weeks of the month.
I felt that the responsibility provided was spot on for an Industrial Placement. My work was valued and acted as a contributing factor to decision making.
The training days provided were fantastic, easy to follow, valuable skills learned and were enjoyable.
