Support and Guidance

How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
Lots. From receiving the offer following the assessment centre, I was immediately assigned a graduate employee 'buddy' who regularly checked in on me in the time leading to internship start. Met them immediately on the first day who helped me meet the team, receive training. Had weekly check-ins with them throughout the entire internship. Also had a direct appraisal manager who gave guidance. Received training from many senior members in the department.
