Being part of the “My Civil Service Reimagined” team is turning out to be one of my best experiences. Through the Summits, I learnt about some of the objectives that civil servants want to achieve in order to make the service better, stronger and successful. This amazing experience allowed me to interact with very important people who are smart and outgoing. As a young student, I see it as a big step that I’ve taken to have the chance that many young people don’t have.
During my internship, I am working with a small team that motivates me to invest all my effort in everything I do. In observing the enthusiasm and commitment that each staff member brings to the team, I feel proud of myself to be among bright people like them. Perhaps this experience will help me to shape my future.
I appreciate the opportunity to do my internship with the Strategic Reforms Implementation Unit and to work with supportive staff that know how to work well as a team, and yes! Once my internship is over I would like to do it again.
