I'm currently doing the software engineering placement. I personally learn something new everyday, whether that's a process or coding skill. It's difficult to say what a typical activity would be as it is very dependent on the role and department.
I personally work in a websites team so my day to day is improving or fixing parts of websites. We have a team meeting every morning where we can voice any problems and ask for support.

Most teams in my department have daily meetings but it depends on the team for the time. I can tell you what typically happens in my day or week if that would be helpful?

My team has a 15 minute meeting everyday and there a longer meetings to focus on planning. In the meetings you can ask for support if you're unsure what to do or just give a general update

Oh ok I see, so when your first starting out It is mostly training at first and then moving onto the real world projects or is it a case of learn on the job?
