    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
  • As an intern, I am responsible for sourcing tasks to complete from their team/managers. This involves basic admin tasks or can include shadowing senior staff and their work-practices. Additionally, you have the opportunity to join client calls to aid understanding. As well as this, interns are put into group-based competitions where they have the opportunity to present their research to CEOs and business owners.
