Entering through the economic consultancy stream, Mollie was determined to develop her business engagement skills and gain experience across different policy areas.
“My key role was working on higher education policy, but I also worked with an experienced research group to investigate the effects of COVID-19 on the training market. It was great to work on a topical research project and contribute to policy discussions.”
Mollie was impressed with the supportive environment and was especially glad to be given interesting and challenging work.
“My team actively invited me to a wide range of meetings and pulled me into the working community. I was assigned relevant work early on, and my manager made time to support my learning and development.”
