Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Initial two weeks involved going through an in-house training programme on full stack web development with React, .NET and SQL server. After that, each intern is assigned to a project.
During the project phrase of the internship, each day involved starting off with a team standup, running through any issues or problems. The rest of the day is then mostly working on completing tickets.

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was assigned tickets and took on the responsibility of coming up with a good solution to the problem. There is a good amount of freedom in the final implementation of the product, my supervisor provided sufficient guidance to ensure I am always on the right track.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was
