Here's what one of our previous interns Kadie Dignam had to say about her time with us:"I was the intern in 2021, where I first learnt many valuable workplace skills such as team work, adaptability and professionalism. These skills not only supported my final year at university, but were used within my application to become a permanent Associate Digital Content Developer in 2023. Since then, I have progressed to senior level in the team, whereby I have attained many more skills and experience such as problem solving, leadership and software proficiency. The internship was a pivotal stepping stone not just into the industry, but into a career I've grown proud of."
