Support and Guidance
How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
Early Careers Team gave lots of support, reaching out multiple times to see how to the internship was going and if we felt we were getting enough support.
Managers were keen to give lots of time to help give us guidance and feedback. They set up meetings to help us when we were stuck. Lots of encouragement and check-ins to make sure that we were given enough work and feeling confident with our tasks.
