Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
develop skillsets as well as myself personally. I feel like I’ve matured – with this being my first experience in the professional world, it’s allowed me to develop skills such as communication when writing emails and interacting with colleagues in different parts of the world and to keep organised especially when working from home and there’s nobody to look over your shoulder to check on you all the time.

Support and Guidance

How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
I received enough support throughout my placement. It was just the right amount and correct balance between knowing my tasks and projects I was involved in but also allowed me to have some freedom and use initiative in order to get tasks done in a way that worked best for me.
However, if I ever had an issue or question I had the support I needed to overcome these
