Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.

I am an intern within Healthcare and Lifesciences Sector of IBM Consulting. My role varies depending on project, I have been both in delivery roles, product and design roles. Your placement year at IBM really is what you make it

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

I was given the responsiblity to own my own workstreams, and deliver legal compliance for the project I was on. You are given the opportunity to upskill and then encouraged to drive and own your own work. You are treated like any other employee, not an intern and that is one of the biggest benefits - you are trusted.

Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was
