1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

In the first 2 weeks we did team building activities and group tasks to get to know each other. We also completed a level 2 CMI qualification through my 3 week work experience. We did taska like dragons den challenges and creative thinking. The CMA also came and talked about the options available for future careers and options for apprenticeships or university. On the last week I got to shadow the procurement team where I learnt how to write reports and I had to prepare a presentation to the chief procurement officer
