Our interns assist us in a wide range of different tasks.

Regular tasks include assisting with social media planning (from drafting posts for our LinkedIn, and Twitter pages, to scheduling and posting the final results), communications (such as creating and distributing our newsletter), website management, writing articles for our website, and organising events.
