Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes, I was given a lot of autonomy and responsibility throughout the 12 months. As I learnt more the more projects given to me to lead. By the end I was leading not only internal meetings and projects but customer meetings and projects on topics that interested. I did not feel like a student, I felt like a valuable employee, I had colleagues globally calling, emailing and messaging me in Teams with questions and for solutions to any problems or any doubt they had.
