Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
From the beginning of my placement, I joined YPN and GIU as a subscribing member, however from February I have now become a member of both committees. This has allowed me to take the lead on projects and meet like-minded people across the business.
For example, I am now involved with planning, minute taking, and the quarterly newsletter for ERG Green Is Universal who are a group of individuals throughout the business who volunteer spread awareness on sustainability within the industry.
