Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
All the interns were added to a project, normally in pairs. You are all assigned a career coach and normally would join the work they are doing. This can include making slide decks, presenting, doing research, attending workshops and meetings.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Once I proved that I can be trusted with work, I was given lots of responsibility. For example I was tasked with developing an automated spreadsheet on excel which was handed directly to the client. I was also tasked with organising and running an internal team day. I was of course given support when I needed it.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was
