Overview of Role

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

A Team meeting involving the other intern and our assigned mentor would be conducted in the morning to go over the operations that needed to be carried out in the day. We would work on these tasks as the day goes on (sometimes as a group) to complete these tasks. When we would finish our task we would message our mentor and ask for a review or call for a meeting to go over our tasks towards the end of that day.
There were also business meetings surrounding other fields of the business once a week along with an intern catchup meeting with the CEO and mentor with all interns at the end of the week to show our progress

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

Yes, We were made to work quite independently and was trusted by our mentor.
