Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
My role involves delivering the 3 areas that were outlined in my scope of work.
On a day to day basis I am speaking with people from across MO and also working on my 3 deliverable areas
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was given so much responsibility. Over the 6 weeks i never felt like i was on the side. I was always able to be at the heart of every meeting. So the level of responsibility far exceed what i thought an intern could have and this is why i developed so much during the 6 weeks
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
Yes loads!
I never came across a Supplier code of conduct or a RFI/ RFP/ RFQ document so i built up experience within these 2 areas alongside meeting with key people from the procurement, risk, sustainability and operations teams which allowed me to leverage their experience to produce a higher quality of work
