Overview
Worked in plan optimisation, automating processes from spreadsheets using programming languages
Skills
Yes, I’ve developed a lot of communication, team building, networking and technical skills
Responsibilities
Yes, I had to manage my own project however there was always help when I needed it, Grid offers a lot of guidance in any area, from every day work and technical problems to mental health and lifestyle.
Support & Guidance
Everyone I met in the business was willing to help me with whatever problem I had. My managers, business coordinators and program organisers were always available for me
Culture
Very inviting, they encourage their interns to really think big and ask lots of questions. I never really felt like it was work because even at my entry level the company showed me how I was playing a part in a bigger role. Very encouraging for myself as an intern
Your Impressions
I greatly enjoyed my internship. Despite the circumstances due to COVID, the program organisers did everything they could to make it an immersive and enjoyable experience
Yes
Ask big questions, don’t be afraid to make mistakes, be confident in yourself, reach out to others in the company when you need help, enjoy it
