There is a new system that is going to be used at NRF to conduct all their business processes whereby, when ever you require some information everything will be automated, meaning everything will be kept on a database somewhere. This is innovation of their business processes. They want to move away from doing things manually, they want everything to be online, so right now I am part of that team that is compiling the System Requirement Specification for the new System they want to build. it has been a great learning experience, with the Project Management, Build project management professionalism and enhance organizational project management skills and capabilities.

They helped me learn many new skills
A typical day would include data analysis and image processing. I was situated in Stellenbosch University, working in the Central Analytical Facilities, there were 3 interns which I had a friendly and good relationship with. I learnt data analysis and how to manage my time better, I coped very well with deadlines and was able to do my own water filtration project. I enjoyed the people I worked with, it made it a very healthy working environment. Most challenging aspect was meeting deadlines
Pros: Acknowledgement for the work done
Cons: Salary was a bit low
