In marketing & coms I assist with internal communications, job & content postings, and arrange merchandise.
In Talent Development I support programme & project delivery, process adhoc training requests, and coordinate the core curriculum training.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was given lots of responsibility during my placement year and given my own projects to run and own from start to finish.
I was initially given roles in other people’s projects to build my confidence until I was ready to take on my own.
