The Role
I've had a great year! I have learnt so many new skills, networked with so many people throughout the company and become so much more confident
Everyone has been so friendly and helpful. I have made loads of friends too!
I had lots of meetings each week to ensure I was making the maximum out of every work opportunity and further my learning and development.
Each day was different which I loved, every day I had atleast 2 or 3 things to work on which was great and I had new projects every couple of weeks. I was never bored!
Quite a lot actually, I had a lot of engagement with customers which I think is really important for learning and development.
I have had lots of experience presenting to lots of different people as well as attending workshops. I have also demo'ed infront of customers!
The Company

Brilliantly! There were loads of interesting workshops, talks and activities organised. All the interns mixed loads which was so nice
Lots! I demo'ed infront of customers and I had lots of 1 to 1 training for this which was brilliant
