Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
As a Technology Project Coordinator, I worked directly with TATA Steel in the delivery chapter where we dealt with requests for service. I led my own project where I supervised, monitored progress, and maintained a positive relationship with TATA Steel. I learned how to use Power.bi and Excel together to visualise data which was formatted into the weekly report.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
In the beginning, I was given a lot of responsibility and was guided through the project by my whole team who were very supportive. I also had the opportunity to talk directly with both TATA Steel and Deloitte and take the lead in meetings.

Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
I learned how to use Power.bi as well as improved Microsoft Excel and PowerPoint skills. My negotiation and patience skills also improved as I dealt directly with the customer on a daily basis. My communication and confidence have also grown and I am now able to lead meetings with senior stakeholders.

How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
My Line Manager was a great support and we had many 1-2-1s where he mentored and guided me through my work, and also gave me tips on how to make the most of my placement. Additionally, the Youth Team at Vodafone was very supportive and held monthly meetings to check in and give us any updates.
