    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
  • Working on a project in the In-store bakery department. I have meetings with my line manager and other members around the business and suppliers to help with my project, which consists of looking at Tesco Express stores. I work daily on my project, incorporating new ideas I have learnt throughout the day.


    Skills

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
  • I have improved my communication skills through writing emails and speaking to people from all over the business. I have improved my computer skills, specifically, Outlook, Powerpoint, Excel and Teams. My critical thinking has improved through analysing data and statistics from weekly reports.

    Responsibilities

  • 3. Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
  • I was given meaningful tasks to carry out and was trusted to do my own reports on my own. I was involved in other projects with other interns and went on store visits with suppliers where I would get information for my project, which I would present to my line manager.

    Support & Guidance

  • 4. How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
  • I received lots of support and guidance throughout from all members of my team, my line manager. I had weekly team meetings and would check in with my manager everyday. I was given a Tesco buddy graduate I could ask any questions. I also had a mentor who I would speak to every fortnight and would support me in skills development.
