Yes, I was given a significant amount of responsibility. I was trusted to manage key aspects of logistics reporting and data analysis, including developing performance dashboards, tracking carrier KPIs, and supporting cross-functional projects. I worked independently on tasks that directly impacted decision-making and operational efficiency, and I regularly presented insights to senior team members. This experience not only strengthened my technical and analytical skills but also boosted my confidence in handling real-world business challenges.

A mixture of both. I have learnt how to use Power BI, communicate professionally within the company and with external carriers. Improved data accuracy, reporting and presentation skills, improved in communication and presenting skills, able to lead a team meeting successfully. Gained a deeper understanding of the global logistics sector.

I received a great deal of support and guidance throughout my placement. My manager held weekly check-in meetings with me, which provided a consistent space to discuss progress, ask questions, and receive feedback. The wider team was also incredibly approachable and always willing to help, whether I needed technical advice or a second opinion on a project. This supportive environment made it easy to learn, grow, and take on new challenges with confidence.

The company culture at Cummins was incredibly welcoming, supportive, and inclusive. From day one, I felt like a valued member of the team. There was a strong emphasis on collaboration, continuous learning, and open communication. The atmosphere was professional yet friendly, and everyone was approachable and willing to help. I especially appreciated the culture of feedback and development, which made it easy to grow both personally and professionally.

I thoroughly enjoyed my placement at Cummins. It was a rewarding and enriching experience that allowed me to apply what I’d learned academically to real-world challenges. I particularly enjoyed the variety of tasks I was involved in, the supportive team environment, and the opportunity to take ownership of meaningful projects. The balance of responsibility, learning, and collaboration made each day engaging, and I came away from the experience with a clearer sense of my career goals and a strong foundation of professional skills.
