Overview of Experience

Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
Throughout the internship I supported the EDI team to make their websites more accessible to screen readers. I also created a podcast about my experience working at Arup as a blind intern.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
During my internship I had regular meetings with my line manager who introduced me to a few colleagues working in different departments. They explained me their role and gave me a really good insight about their duty. This was excellent.
