The Role
I enjoyed my summer internship at Handelsbanken. I managed to develop on existing skills and competencies and I also managed to make new connections. I also managed to build up more industry knowledge in the banking sector and gained valuable transferrable skills that can be applied in many different fields.
I felt that my colleagues were very kind and very welcoming. They made a real effort to make sure I was a fully integrated team member and also provided me with assistance in my day to day activities. They also gave me extra work to do whenever I asked for it.
