Morgan: Internship @ Generation Rent

“My favourite aspect of the internship was that every task was different.”

I gained a paid internship through the Faculty Internship Scheme working in public affairs and fundraising for an organisation called Generation Rent. I developed knowledge in government legislation and housing laws and skills in research techniques, how to construct formal letters and produce persuasive flyers.

My favourite aspect of the internship was that every task was different and built upon previous tasks. I enjoyed that my manager always believed I was capable of doing more than an intern was supposed to.

Since finishing my internship I worked in Housing for Wigan Council and I am now at Lichfield District Council as a Housing Options Officer, because of that internship I fell in love with housing policy and the impacts of Section 21 evictions. I’m also looking to do another degree for the Chartered Institute of Housing.
