Overview of Role

My main role is to interpret existing and future regulations and assess these requirements against our current product portfolio. The work I do varies from day to day - from simple ad hoc requests to larger long term projects.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was given a huge amount of responsibility and made to feel like part of the team from day 1. The work I have undertaken as an intern at BAT has been highly valued and has helped to make a difference.

Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
The main skill I have developed over my year at BAT is communication. As part of compliance we have to communicate legal requirements to our stakeholders. These stakeholders usually hold no legal background, therefore, learning how to explain complex concepts in simple terms has been hugely useful.

Support and Guidance
How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
I was given lots of support during my placement. For all the work I was given my line manager was my point of contact and was always happy to help/guide me in the right direction.
Further, everyone was given a mentor and BAT have a placement team for extra support.
