Overview
I was given tasks to relieve the workload of the members of the team, including research, mark-ups (arrows to describe movement of goods/waste), calculations and report writing. I also had an intern project about the different metrics to measure waste management
Skills
I developed my research and synthesis skills, as well as my report writing skills. I think I lso improved my communication skills through email writing and presentations.
Responsibilities
I was not given much responsibilities as I was doing support tasks for the rest of the team, but I was in charge of my own project (with guidance and feedback from senior members)
Support & Guidance
All of my colleagues gave me clear guidance and showed me where the documents were as well as what they were expecting to get from my work. They would often give me feedback and tell me what I did wrong and what to do to avoid the mistakes I made.
Culture
It was very friendly and welcoming. I felt like I was part of the team which I appreciated. It was a very healthy working environment.
Your Impressions
I really enjoyed my internship, and it gave me ideas as to where I want to take my future career.
Yes
To speak their mind and show they have interests in the company and the issues they work on.
