The Role
Internship was structered pretty well with training, activities and networking opportunities.
Worked on projects that were presented to senior management. Able to contribute tangibly to the business.
Manger was very friendly and willing to assist with any questions or difficulities that I had.
As my work was mainly project based, some days were busier than others. However, I could keep myself busy by shadowing other colleagues or catching up on the news.
Worked on projects that were presented to senior management, helped develop new processes to allow the businesss to work more effectively.
Gained numerous transferable skills that will definitely help me in my future workplace.
