Overall Experience

To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?

I throughly enjoyed my internship at Volvo Penta, I was respected and valued as a team member. I got to learn new skills that are now crucial to my career.
Despite having to work from home during my placement, the team made me feel apart of everything and I never felt out of the loop with tasks/project. Something to be admired, especially when working from home was new to everyone.
