Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
My role is very varied, I am involved in data analysis, planning, creation of learning, and networking with a lot of people. I work across the whole business on various projects which is a great opportunity to understand different areas and understand others jobs to make the learning I create, more effective.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes I was given big responsibilities throughout the year. However, this wasn't just dropped on me, day one. I was slowly given more and more responsibility. This was great as I felt like I was progressing. It gave me the opportunity to ask for more and when I did, I was always given it.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
100%! My presentation skills have come on massively. I was given the opportunity to start with small audiences and build this up to talking in front of over 100 people. In addition, I built my networking skills, where I now feel confidence enough to walk up to lots of different people and network. In addition, my data analysis skills have improved and no only just collecting and analysing but visually represent it to others too.
