The day-to-day role of a project manager involves overseeing project timelines, ensuring effective stakeholder communication, and managing tasks to meet deadlines. Responsibilities include planning and scheduling, risk management, quality control, budget tracking, and status reporting.

Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
There are many opportunities explicitly for upskilling even outside the natural learnings that arise from working within the team. You have the opportunity to pick up a lot of soft-skills you ordinarily would not in a typical university environment as well as build on the technical skills you may already have.
