Great Learning Experience
December 15, 2018by: Praful - United StatesI had a great learning experience. I was in business internship and it was provided in collaboration with UCT Graduate school of business's Solution space in Philippi, which gave me access so resources and entrepreneurs where I could understand real business cases and problem which need to be solved. And as being a student I felt it was a great experience in term of increasing my credibility and understanding of business from global prespective.
Incredibly useful and eye-opening
December 08, 2018by: Simon - United KingdomAn incredibly useful and eye-opening experience, which gave me beneficial business experience to take into the real world, as well as the opportunity to make a difference in a developing community. Alongside this, I was able to travel and explore a stunning part of the world and meet a host of people. An awesome experience.
Worthwhile experience
May 05, 2019by: KehindeBeing an intern, I think I had a more worthwhile experience as I got to improve my leadership skills and take ownership of my own project. Moreover the extra things we were made to do were great. I would have preferred more support at the start of the project. However, I only felt that I was supported properly owing to the reflection sessions we had. I think everyone would benefit from this.
