    The Role

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

    5/5

  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?
  • I was busy all the time, sometimes in the day it would get a bit repetitive, however mostly I was given reponsibility on a variety of tasks which involved the basics of accounting practices.

    5/5

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
  • I was definitely given responsibility, however not on a large scale due to the fact you have to be qualified to do more complex stuff. However, I do feel I was given tasks that were of some responsibility and had to be checked thoroughly by management.

    5/5

  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • The skills learnt in the workplace will definitely aid a future career in the industry, and the training induction was very helpful in order to get used to the PwC way of doing things. It should aid me to link stuff back into theory when going back to university.
