Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
My role as an intern has primarily involved intern related tasks, such as an 'Innovation Bootcamp' for example. My line manager has also tasked me with internal assignments to assist the team and generally make their roles easier.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was given lots of internal responsibility, but in most teams it is difficult to get interns up to pace within the 8 weeks to provide them with massive amounts of responsibility.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
