    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?

    • I enjoyed the internship very much. Even though it was a tough start since I had to get up to speed with everything and get used to the environment but everyone was supportive and made it an easy process

    5/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • I felt like a full time permanent employee not an intern. I felt trusted and welcomed to the team which made it easy to learn and engage with everyone.

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

    • I had my buddy who sat close to me. She was very very helpful. My manager is probably one of the nicest managers I will ever meet. My mentor was always there when I needed help. The help was always there when I asked for it.

    4/5

    4/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • I played a role that as improtant to everyone on the team. My project was with another division outside of my division and I felt trusted to go and represent the team and the division.

    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 can't remember the day I joined. It seems like soo long ago now. The amount of information I learnt and the skills are way beyond what I can get from university. It broadens your vision and makes you think about the future.

    5/5
