Overview
Facilitating all Board of Management related activity including meetings, guests and other administrative tasks. Embedding the local sustainability strategy from reporting, project management and research.
Skills
I have developed many new and existing skills including communication, adaptability, organisation and project management. I have also developed my Excel and numerical skills.
Responsibilities
I took ownership of many projects as well as the local sustainability reporting for the business. I also gave sustainability presentations across the business allowing me to develop my network outside of my department.
Support & Guidance
My line manager and the rest of my team were incredibly supportive and were always happy to help. There was also a sense from around the business that people are happy to share their expertise and give up their time to help others.
Culture
Everyone at VWFS radiates a sense of pride of working for the business. It is a really nice place to work and this is largely down to the people.
Your Impressions
I really enjoyed my placement at VWFS. I have learnt skills which I can take back to university and into my future career, and I have been able to network with a range of lovely people from across the business.
Yes
Research the business before applying as this will help you to get your head round the business and will give you an edge when applying. VWFS is not the same as Volkswagen Group!
