Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Supporting communications for the UK and Ireland internally by writing the newsletter, sending regular event and internal updates, writing internal news articles and supporting with the organisation and hosting of internal employee events. My team often work closely with our external PR team to produce external news for SAP.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Plenty responsibility. In reality there is a hierarchy of employees at SAP but not once have I felt any less valuable than other colleagues. Being an intern has certainly not proved to mean we are bottom of the barrel. We’re all as responsible as each other.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
Producing and hosting a podcast in the final weeks of my placement allowed me to develop my self confidence and public speaking skills. I have also become much more confident with my article writing as well as becoming more familiar with professional skills.
