Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
I worked with Microsoft Power Platform to help build a organizational system for a disabilities charity. As this was quite a short internship, it mostly focused on learning.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I couldn't get access permissions from the client until very late into the internship so I was mostly shadowing and therefore not given much responsibility
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was
