Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Provide essential support to the relevant category manager with the department’s administrative and creative processes in order to gain an insight into the licensing sales function and the CPGP business as a whole.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes. At The Walt Disney Company you are very much apart of the team you are in. You will get tasks that individuals do at management level. Also during this role I built up my own professional relationship with our licensees, communicating with them nearly everyday on my own without my manager.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Support and Guidance
How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
From the off set I was given a lot of support by not only my manager but also the director of my team. They were all so lovely and pushed me out of my comfort zone which I am so grateful for. Not only was support given to me in relation to my role but also support was given to me regarding building my CV and skills for my future career.

Overall Experience
To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?
Working at Disney has been amazing, I have absolutely loved it and I would 100% do it all over again if I could. The company do expect a lot from their interns but this is what makes it great as you get your hands very stuck in. As for my team, they have been amazing - they tailor the internship depending on what you want to learn, for me it was getting exposure to marketing.
