Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Understanding stakeholder requirements and helping design strategies and solutions to undertake projects. I would work on projects such as report writing, as well as working in different divisions, such as HR and Business Analysis. I would bring people together from different teams to optimise the completion of projects.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was given a lot of responsibility because I had to write a report for an external stakeholder, and then redesign the assessment centre process for future candidates, meaning my work left a lasting legacy.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
I have learned how to react to change due to changing stakeholder requirements, as well as improve my perseverance since I am required to contact as many stakeholders as possible. My collaboration skills have also improved because I have been in constant networking and require unique perspectives to complete my projects.

Overall Experience
To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?
I found it very enjoyable, especially when I was in office working. However, I was not as large a fan of remote working, since I found that it was harder to network and form meaningful relationships with those in my team.

Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Centrica to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to Centrica
Try your best to get stuck in and involved, because there are lots of opportunities. This is despite the fact that it is very easy to stay in your shell, especially due to the remote working environment. However, by networking and contacting as much as possible, it is possible to learn a lot and make a strong impact.
