Liz Barrell's Internship Journey

We recently interviewed an intern that we placed at a company called 3D Design Bureau; her name is Liz Barrell and we wanted to find out what doing an Erasmus+ internship  through Twin is all about.

 “I think I’ve picked up a lot of transferable skills, such as time management and how to manage a caseload. I’m meeting lots of different people and working to a deadline, which is good for me because it’s a new experience. It’s different to university, it’s the real world, and it’s great to be able to use my skills. I am quite meticulous about things, and so it suits my personality.”

“Kickstart is providing me with so many development opportunities... I have a very diverse role.”

“I am gaining valuable HR insights that will help me in my career.”

“I am receiving an invaluable experience that is helping me to build up my ‘brand’ and learn how to better sell my skills to future employers.”
