Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
A few days a week on a placement within a given team. The rest is split between a business project where you can make a difference inside the business, a charity project where you can make a difference within the community, and loads of different learning opportunities and development sessions.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes, there was plenty of opportunities to get involved and make a difference. That being said, they didn't give you so much responsibility it was overwhelming.
