Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Quite self-lead throughout the project. We had a daily catch-up with the team and twice weekly with our graduate support to set the agenda for that day, whether that was researching or writing the report, each day differed.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes- the problems statements we were given were real problems the company was facing therefore, the responsibility to solve this problem was huge.
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 developed my commercial awareness by learning about the internal strategy and the way the company puts so much detail into every change they make.
I have also developed my presenting skills through regularly having to informally present our project to stakeholders and colleagues.
