Power Academy Intern Review

Day to day tasks was answering emails and arranging meetings with team members, attending meetings. Occasionally traveling to place of work. Had a hybrid way of work and only came in like once every 2 weeks.

Communication and Excel skills have drastically improved. Email writing and surprisingly active listening is a skill that National Grid really make sure you develop on.

Yeah was given a good amount of responsibility mainly was helping a small problem that was part of a big problem. They didn't give me anything overwhelming it's quite tailored to my skill set.

A lot of support. They definitely want to make sure that you are comfortable with what you do in the job. They do put a skill development plan for you which is good as it help keep a measurement of your personal improvement in your own skills.

Very relaxed. They have deadlines to meet but they give you the freedom of where you want to complete those tasks. I found myself being primarily remote and only coming into the office for critical meetings. Which is good as I find that I get more work done in my own environment. Occasionally going into the office was for days where there was big staff meetings or resolving issues as a group.

I enjoyed my internship once I got passed all the training and HR stuff. A lot of time was wasted at the start doing online training but once we got into the work it was really enjoyable.

Yes

It's a good company to go with. The career paths in that buisness is massive. They are in a state where things are changing and expanding so it would be good to join them now and be part of something big in the future.
