  • I was given full autonomy and was treated like a full time employee; all the stereotypes of what 'intern' roles are, were disbanded by my time here at Softcat, where i am valued, treated professionally and maturely. All my accounts were my full responsibility and any extra curricular activities i was free to partake in. Specifically being heavily involved in the Muslim Network leading events and planning for the year ahead alongside work.
