with me wherever my career leads me next - I am now certainly considering working in a start-up firm more than I was before my internship! What advice would you give to future interns? I would absolutely recommend this internship to anyone interested in working on a handson, rewarding project and gain insight into the world of tech, start-ups and entrepreneurship. It was a real pleasure to work with such a receptive and constructive team (albeit remotely) and being able to delve into multiple aspects of the company over such a short period of time was a unique and very valuable opportunity. If you are unsure of which sector to go into but like the idea of gaining exposure to multiple aspects of a start-up whilst contributing meaningfully to the company and team, then this internship could really be for you!
MSc Biochemistry (Molecular and Cellular), Third Year Undergraduate Student, Remote working Work Projects I worked on grant development, securing funding for projects, and technical and vocational education and training (TVET), developing policies and structuring projects. I had a supervisor who would review my work and provide feedback. Daily Life I would be very flexible with working hours depending on the work streams I was engaged in, to ensure that I could balance my work with relaxing, preparing for finals, and job hunting. Lasting Impressions I did enjoy the experience because I gained insight into the world of Development Consulting as well as social venture projects. What advice would you give to future interns? Always remember the audience that you are targeting for any piece of work. Additionally, make sure to structure your work so that you can support your arguments.
