The Role
I very much enjoyed my internship at Macmillan Cancer Support.
As an intern, I was part of the team and I felt valued by my colleagues. We are like friends.
Fantastic support by my line managers, by the team and by management.
I always had a full to-do list. Helped make me part of the team.
Was given responsibility over my own projects.
I have gained skills for the future. General skills will hopefully assist me in my career beyond my studies.
The Company
Team atmosphere. Fun, but everyone is committed to helping people affected by cancer.
Great internship setup. IT issues at the start of the internship.
Macmillan does invest in its interns and its programme.
