Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
I helped with the planning, logistics and execution of the Interns and analyst programmes. One of my Projects was reviewing University society sponsorship proposals as well setting up meeting with the societies. I assisted planning feedback sessions with Interns and reviewing how programmes can be improved for the next cohort I further assisted the rest of the team whenever they needed support on a project.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes I was, I led the university sponsorship proposal for the current year, trusted to supervise sessions, given many tasks to do independently on behalf of the team.
A lot of responsibility was given!
