Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.

I am a systems architect so I design and oversee the structure of complex systems ensuring they meet business requirements and function efficiently. I primarily work within the defence sector so I will be modelling programs which will be used by the MOD and Boeing alike.

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

I was given a lot of responsibility and treated just like a normal employee. I was given similar workloads but a much larger room to make error and learn from my mistakes.

Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?

I have learnt how to use new programs such as Enterprise Architect. I have also learnt how to model in the Archimate 3.0 language. I have gained a lot more technical proficiency as I am able to have a stronger understanding of hardware and software and the way in which these work together. I have also developed my soft skills. For example, I have held my own meetings, presentations and interacted and through these I have built a network of colleagues and clients.
