Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

I enjoy the content of my programme and how the content directly leads to my job.

Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?

There are challenges coordinating the university, place of employment and what is expected of you as well as fulfilling everything to the best quality.
How much support do you receive from your employer?

The employer is supportive, mainly if you ask what you need. This is hard as you don't always receive information to get a forward look which would enable you to plan ahead.

Monthly socials at the office and then I attend networking events externally.
