    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?
  • A great internship, with the opportunity to really develop myself. Not only a focus to complete my project but for the company to invest in developing me.

    4/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?
  • A real job with real responsibilities, and the oppourtunity to express an opinion which is valued and even expected.

    4/5

  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?
  • Support was great all the way. from co-worker to management, they make sure I have everything that I need.

    4/5

  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?
  • My internship lent itself to some busy periods but also the opportunity to spend some time on self evaluation.

    3/5

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
  • Learned all basic office skills from photocopying/IT systems which will be relevant in any administrative job

    4/5

  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • The experience alone would give a person a better understanding of the business world and an understanding of group dynamics and teamwork that would defiantly assist anyone returning to education. The experience alone would allow for people to think outside the box as they would have a better understanding of a working practice rather than just a methodology.

    4/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?
  • The internship was well structured and It was obvious that a lot of time and planning went in what the company wanted us to gain from the internship but also accommodating what we wanted to gain from it also.

    3/5

  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?
  • Well organised, with pre-defined objectives set within each rotation.

    4/5
