Smart Futures Intern Review

The first week of the internship involved us getting an introduction to the company itself and learning about all the services the company offer. During the second week we had skill sessions at different client sites where we learned new skills as well as developing our current skills. The aim of this was to help us prepare for our third week where we would be placed in an area of business and assist in their daily work life. In my third week i got to attend meetings, shadow a partner and was able to see how the human capital department ran and what they did on a daily basis.

I was able to develop my presentation skills as well as learn more about how to deal with problems in the work place and work together as a team to get a solution.

I thoroughly enjoyed the programme and the various activities that were on offer during the three weeks. Also being with other like- minded students whom had a passion for success just like myself made it one of the best three weeks of my life.

The company's values explain why they are one of the best company's to work for - they keep their employees happy and the support they offer workers and young people is key to their success.

Be open to different parts of the work place - gaining experience in all sectors will give you a clear idea of what you want to do.
