    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
  • I work with the licensing sales team for Apparel, Accessories and Footwear across all of EMEA to provide support where needed. Often I am working on administrative tasks ensuring processes run smoothly for example managing contract amendments and submitting approvals. However, I also work creatively for example creating and delivering trend and inspiration pitches to external licensees.


    Skills

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

    Support & Guidance

  • 4. How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
  • My manager was brilliant at supporting me through all the challenges of work. I was guided through the initial few weeks of the process and slowly given more and more responsibility. I know that if I have any questions I could always go to her.

    Culture

  • 5. What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
  • Having an Intern cohort to rely on is so crucial to why the working environment at Disney is so supportive. The company is a good employer and the atmosphere of the floor/company is great. However, I know that this is not the case of all interns and some have found the environment to be not so supportive, my personal experience was just extremely positive.

    Your Impressions

  • 6. To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?
  • I loved working at Disney. I was lucky to have such a lovely and supportive team who not only provided me with a great working environment but also pushed me to explore other roles/teams to broaden my scope. I volunteered at events and met senior leadership I never thought I would be able to which all benefitted to the experience. It is a great place to do an internship as you can learn so much in such a big company and having 200 other interns makes the experience like nothing else.
