Support and Guidance

How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
Buddy and Career Coach were both amazing! Really friendly, both made it clear to ask as many questions to get the most out of the intern experience. Felt comfortable coming forward to them with any queries. Especially during my first week where I was stuck at home due to COVID, they were always checking up and was very re-assuring.
