Skills Development

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

I have developed my communication skills and copywriting skills exponentially during my placement. My digital software skills have improved alongside my confidence in digital literacy. I have learnt specific terms involved with the PR and Events industry that I am now confident with, and have learnt bookkeeping skills such as invoicing, raising POs, and Goods Receipting.

Support and Guidance

How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?

I think i received a great deal of support from my team, who have supported and trained me greatly. i do wish there was more training available for financial software and other company-specific software, as they can be quite complicated to use.

Company Culture

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?

The atmosphere on my team was nothing but supportive, warm, and welcoming. Everyone is treated with respect and given responsibility- I felt instantly welcome. In terms of the wider company, i have found people from all departments to be just as friendly- everyone is willing to help and answer questions and are very approachable around the office- all-in-all, a great atmosphere.
