Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Most days started with a few talks in the morning. Throughout the two week period we were put into small teams of about 6 to complete a project for a mock client, with a presentation in the second week. We met regularly with mentors and there were many fun quizzes, interactive teambuilding activities.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
A small amount of responsibility was required in the groupwork project, since we were all accountable for our own parts, making sure we deliver what was needed for the group.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was
