    The Role

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

    • I really enjoyed the placement, I feel the first week we had various activities planned for us, I felt going to Bristol the second week we did get forgotten about, there were no training sessions similar to those in London or offered by video conference.
