Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
A day to day basis can involve anything, we often track the networks performance on a monthly and quarterly basis, this means creating trackers. Also looking after the group inbox where the network will email and questions they have or if they need support with anything.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was given a lot of responsibility, this included leading certain projects that were important to the business. Throughout these projects even though I was in charge of leading them I could always rely on my manager/ team for help.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
I have learnt a lot of new technical skills such as Power Bi and power Automate, I have also massively increased my skills within Excel.
As it is my first corporate role I have learnt a lot about how the business functions as well as what I have to do to assist with that, this has increased my team working and communication skills.

Support and Guidance

How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
A lot. I was assigned a mentor when I started at TGB and we had bi-weekly catch ups. These were sessions where I could ask for help with anything.
I would also have catch ups twice a week with my line manager, one for development and one for work related conversations.
As well as a weekly catch up with my senior manager to see if I needed help with anything.

I massively enjoyed my year at TGB, I have learnt a lot about what I may want to do going forward as well as improving upon my skills that would allow me to do said roles. Part of the reason why I enjoyed my year so much is due to the people that I was surrounded by.
