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

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was trusted with responsibilities right from the beginning, which built a strong relationship between myself and the team but you are never on your own, if you are struggling anyone is happy to help.

Overall Experience
To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?
I feel so lucky to have gotten my placement at JDE, I've heard horror stories from friends at other companies who are not having the same experience in terms of enjoyment and development I feel I got from this company. Would recommend JDE to anyone looking for a placement.
