Support and Guidance

How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
During the first week of the internship you are in full time training / handover, this allowed for me to learn my job role while the current intern was still at the company and able to speak through the role and answer any questions that arise.
Throughout the year we could access a range of different learnings from Marketing to environmental work shops. Each month interactive training sessions were also sent out such as excel training.
