involved in the relationship between clients and their suppliers was a unique opportunity especially as I do not have any background in supply chain management. This experience proved to me that I am able to succeed in a field that is unrelated to my field of academic expertise. Therefore, I found this experience very rewarding and it supports my further career by giving me a fundamental understanding of how supply chains operate. In this sense, this internship has supported my career ambitions by providing me with the opportunity to gain some experience that is complementary to my field of study.
3KEEL Final year undergraduate, BA Geography, A mixture of in-person and remote working Work Projects Interning with a leading sustainability and environmental consultancy, I worked across several projects that involved significant research, writing and analysis. Principally, I was tasked with conducting secondary research into several key areas and producing a synthesised view from this, which could then be presented to the client. Further, as I worked on an industry-leading report for much of the internship, I was responsible for drafting significant elements of the report and then working with more senior members of the team to refine the overall report and its content before delivery to the client. During this time, I was also engaged in the development of a significant online element to the report and liaised with the design team to ensure that this was up to scratch. Other work included taking part in an audit of the supply chain of a client. Throughout my internship, I had a line manager, who was incredibly helpful and responsive to any questions or concerns. I also interacted with other members of my team frequently and developed strong working relationships with them, which created a very enjoyable team environment.
