Problem solving, communication, teamwork, adaptability, presenting
Responsibilities
For the first 2 thirds of the placement, I was often looking for work to do, not well utilised however towards the end of my placement I managed to get allocated to a project in my team and had a large amount of responsibility.
Support & Guidance
Lots of support was available from the early careers team throughout the placement, as well as my team

The culture within the team and area I worked in was very positive, was an enjoyable place to work. Have also heard from others this atmosphere is present around the majority of the business.
