Erika’s Internship Experience
As part of my secretarial studies, I have been carrying out a six-week placement at Alpha School of English in Malta. It has been a great opportunity for me in many ways. I helped the Sales and Marketing Manager with various tasks and therefore have been able to put into practise what I have learnt throughout my school year. I worked on different things such as including presentations, databases, letters, mail, Internet research. All these tasks are related to what I am currently studying and have provided a good working experience. My internship in Malta also greatly helped me to improve my language skills since I have been surrounded by English – speaking people. Besides, I was also given the opportunity to attend English classes which definitely helped me to become more confident in English. In addition, working in Malta has also given me a chance to discover the island and get to know a new culture and way of life.
