Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Process any opportunities that come into the team by speaking to the ASM that has submitted the request and figure out next steps.
Produce weekly reports, take weekly calls presenting data, shadowing and then training the replacement intern in the final month of the year.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
You are well integrated into the business and although sometimes it doesn't seem like much on paper, if you are not to fulfil your role then a replacement would be needed. Interns are given an actual role at the company for the year and not put on a separate course etc, thus giving a real world experience of how a global organisation operates.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was
4/5

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
Microsoft excel improved hugely as well as Salesforce knowledge. Not only these computer skills but presenting, teamworking, problem solving and time management are key parts of the role. HPE also have a large focus on balancing your work and personal life with plenty of wellness and skills development time.

Overall Experience

To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?
I would love to join the company after I have finished my degree as they are caring for their employees and this is shown by the general culture and well-being of the company. It does meet the initial expectations despite doing the majority of the placement remotely too, still managed to use the brand new office space they have just opened up.
