Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.

I was on a 4 week summer internship. I worked closely with the Employee Relations team to develop a training manual on how to approach complex scenarios. I also had the opportunity to network with individuals in the company and find out about the different areas of HR such as Reward, Talent, Diversity and Inclusion. I also took part in training sessions such as design thinking and storytelling all which led up to me delivering my final project presentation.

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

Yes, I was given lots of responsibility during my internship. I had to manage a project, design and structure how I wanted it to look like, organise sessions with my team to understand more about the topic area. I also had to network with different individuals and understand more about their roles and the different parts of HR that they worked in

Skills Development

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

Yes I have developed so many skills over the past 4 weeks. The first key skill I developed was collaboration. I was able to collaborate with different members of my team and understand more about Employee Relations and this helped me put together the training guide. Another skill I developed was presenting. My final task was to deliver a final project presentation to my line managers and team and this really took me out of my comfort zone.
