Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
My role involves assisting a team on an IT audit. This takes around half of my day as I do not always have work to fill my day. In the other time I have learning requirements to do and have many meetings and conversations with more senior people.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Not a great deal as 4 weeks is only a short time to learn. But all the work I was doing was contributing to the project, even if this was in a small way.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Skills Development
