Overview
Procurement is extremely varied so the role for each procurement intern is different. My day-to-day role mainly involved contract management and shadowing a tender through which I then did a project that contributed to strategic insights.
Skills
It's very valuable to be in a corporate environment learn about how it works. My main takeaways were relationship networking and the dynamics with suppliers and in an office environment. Other key skills were organisation, analytical skills and time management.
Responsibilities
Yes, I believe I was given the perfect amount of responsibility for a summer internship. I had support from my team with space to work independently on the projects I was given.
Support & Guidance
There was so much support if I need it from both from emerging talent and my team.
Culture
I really enjoyed the company culture. Everyone was extremely friendly and supportive which I was very presently surprised by.
Your Impressions
I really enjoyed it, a great experience. I learnt so much about what I am interested in pursuing and future as well as doing interesting work and building meaningful connections. It was a very valuable experience.
Yes
Be yourself, everyone wants you to succeed and try your best. I was definitely a bit skeptical coming in but it exceeded my expectations.
