The internship with Bus Éireann was a worthwhile experience where I was learning new skills and was trusted to work independently and on my own initiative on the varied tasks assigned. Throughout the internship felt I was supported in my work from all departments encountered.
I would definitely recommend this internship especially if you have an interest in sustainability, the environment and energy management.
