Overview of Role

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

Worked as a softwire development intern which involved a 2 week bootcamp followed by working on an intern project for 2 weeks. This meant coming in to work and programming most days, sometimes giving demos or interacting with clients etc. Also lots of fun work trips out and plenty of breaks!

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

We were often able to chat to clients ourselves and very much allowed to work how we wanted with regards to what we were writing and what development tickets we picked up. We also were allowed to be in charge of planning demos which felt really nice!

Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?

I've learnt an absolutely insane amount, I've gone from knowing basic mathematical python to being able to comfortably write heavily involved c# to do with editing databases and web apps, and know how to set up a functioning webservice.

Support and Guidance

How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?

We had people in the office always ready to step in and help us, everyone was super friendly and it felt like there was no pressure when asking for help! We were allowed to be independent but also didn't feel bad if we got stuck
