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

  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    5/5

  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • The company invested a lot in us. We were given 3 days of classroom training at the start to get us up to date with the relevant knowledge required to perform out work. Besides that, the opportunity to mingle with clients gave us the opportunity to build our brand name too.
