Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
My role involved helping the planners with their projects and reports. On a more administritive side of things, I had daily and weekly reports to do, keeping the offices and other areas according to 5S standards and communicating with people from various departments
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I believe so, since the company reduced the number of interns per department, there has been more workload for me that is usually divided for 2 interns
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

I also feel like my communications skills have improved since I speak with people on a daily basis
Additionally my knowledge in automotive engineering has improved a lot

Support and Guidance

How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
The people from my and other departments were very helpful when it came to asking for support with the projects or just simple questions. They were easily reachable any time by Skype or Teams.
Though there were the odd people that didn't really care much, but I guess it's normal in these types of working environments

Overall Experience

To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?
Being able to participate in various projects was my favorite part of the internship and to explore all the different departments and meeting new people as well.
