I joined university after having applied (unsuccessfully) for many web development jobs after being made redundant from my first web dev position. To start a paid internship within a year of starting University was a great feeling and showed that I hadn\u2019t been unsuccessful due to lack of skills.\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"599\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.uwe.ac.uk\/careers-enterprise\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2022\/12\/Brody-photo-shutterstock_134263049.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-828\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.uwe.ac.uk\/careers-enterprise\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2022\/12\/Brody-photo-shutterstock_134263049.jpg 599w, https:\/\/blogs.uwe.ac.uk\/careers-enterprise\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2022\/12\/Brody-photo-shutterstock_134263049-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 599px) 85vw, 599px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What key skills have you learnt through your internship and how do they link to your course\/ career goals?\u202f\u202f&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The main skills I learnt whilst working through my internship were how to successfully work independently and remotely as my role was primarily work from home; 3 days at home, 2 in office. I also refined my web development skills in JavaScript, HTML and CSS. I learned a lot more about developing within a PHP environment as a lot of the projects I worked on were primarily WordPress websites.\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Would you recommend other UWE Bristol students take up an internship and why?\u202f\u202f&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I would 100% recommend to other students to take up an Internship. The work experience was an invaluable contribution towards real-world relevant experience listed on my CV which, ultimately, I feel helped in me landing a fantastic placement job between my 2<sup>nd<\/sup> and 3<sup>rd<\/sup> years of University. I was also offered continued, permanent part-time work during my 2<sup>nd<\/sup> year as a result of a successful internship over the summer. Shout out to all at Believe.digital (especially Rob), it\u2019s a great company with a brilliant working atmosphere and I\u2019d 110% recommend it as a place for anyone to work at as an intern; everyone is super helpful when starting out and if you don\u2019t know something, it really isn\u2019t an issue, just ask.\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.uwe.ac.uk\/careers-enterprise\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2022\/12\/Brody-photo-iStock_78318505_XXXLARGE.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-829\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.uwe.ac.uk\/careers-enterprise\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2022\/12\/Brody-photo-iStock_78318505_XXXLARGE.jpg 600w, https:\/\/blogs.uwe.ac.uk\/careers-enterprise\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2022\/12\/Brody-photo-iStock_78318505_XXXLARGE-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I would 100% recommend to other students to take up an Internship.
