Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
I had an overarching project of producing an educational paper on a key decarbonisation technology, but other than that I got involved in annual renewals, profitability reviews, ESG reviews as well as intended various client meetings.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Lots of responsibility. But it depends entirely on what you want to get out of the internship. Proactivity was key to getting the most out of the internship, with colleagues naturally being busy.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
I was able to develop crucial skills in managing my time effectively as the workload can get a bit heavy (if you choose it to be). My written and verbal skills also improved drastically.
