    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.

    • Fantastic induction week with the interns from all other offices. During the other two weeks, sat with two different groups and given a mixture of live/'real' tasks and non-live tasks. All work was typical trainee tasks and the teams were very inclusive and welcoming. Nothing too technical or strenuous and lots of support given.

    Skills

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

    • One of the nicest environments I have ever worked in. Every single person I spoke to was welcoming, kind, friendly and always always made the time for you - even as an intern. Being in the office felt natural and there was never any feeling of not belonging. DLA very actively cultivates a friendly culture.
