  • Intensive training week at the beginning of the internship - but real learning came from just being on the job. I've learnt a lot about the industry I work in (Lifer Sciences) and have developed my business skills immensly. The performance review updates with my managers where aparticularly good way to highlight things I was doing well and areas to develop.
