Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Spend time in development sessions, networking with other people, participating in a sustainability based business project and also raising some money from charity. Each day is very varied and time is well structured so that you are able to spend sufficient time on all activities. Placement days involve producing pieces of work and applying the skills learnt in the development sessions.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I have been given lots of responsibility. During my time here I have been able to run one of my placement projects. Furthermore, the business project enables us to manage our on time and run something on our own time.

Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
Lots. We have lots of sessions each week where we learn new things. From how to manage our stakeholders to presentations skills. We also have two talks a week from people who tell us about their specialist area in the business so we get exposure to different departments which we aren't in during placement time.
