People Development & Learning Intern Review

The main day-to-day tasks I had to do in my role were to keep track of learning hours, invite employees onto trainings, as well as help in the organisation and execution of those trainings and others. I would communicate with both internal and external facilitators, answer emails and work on various different projects. I also had a an ongoing project throughout my placement which required daily attention for registrations, scheduling and executing.

I was given my own responsibilities from day one. Since the very beginning I was handed over a project and I had to look after it's execution, scheduling, attendance and budget. Other responsibilities would vary throughout my internship. I would have major ownership of some tasks which was then transferred onto a new team member, so I could take on a more active, in-depth responsibility with the organisation of other ongoing trainings and projects

Some skills I was able to improve and develop were: data quality and visualisation trough working with big data sets and curating presentations; critical thinking, brand building, budget management and content creating by working on my ongoing project; prioritisation, stress and energy managment by working on a plethora of daily tasks. I also further developed my Excel and PowerPoint skills trough going on trainings and working with the programs daily.

I was placed in a wonderful team which was always there for me when I needed help. I was always welcome to ask as many questions as needed and when a new task came my way there was always someone who would go over the process with me and would help with any difficulties which would arise in future execution.

The company culture ad general atmosphere was great! Everyone across the company was cheerful and kind. People would often bring treats into the office and when there is a special occasion or someone was leaving we would get together to honour them. We would sometimes have social events within the company, but we would also sometimes get together outside of office hours.

I enjoyed my placement to the fullest extent and would repeat the experience if i had the chance to. I created many meaningful connections, improved my skills and learned a lot about the industry and my future aspirations. It has been a valuable experience and I highly recommend.
