#Interns Trainings
LinkedIn optimization and Cover letter writing
One topic I would appreciate a refresher on:
Time management and prioritisation, particularly managing multiple assignments, meeting deadlines, and balancing urgent tasks with longer-term responsibilities.
One HR/admin topic I wish we had covered:
Understanding payroll, benefits and employment administration; including payslips, statutory deductions, leave policies, insurance/benefits, and the administrative processes that come with transitioning from an intern to an employee to help us even beyond internship.
@guest586@aphrc.org This is noted and I am going to put it as one of the topics we should cover before the end of Internship.
@Grace Khatenya The payroll/benefits session would be so valuable, especially the intern-to-employee transition piece. Seconding this!
I’d be interested in a session on how to build a portfolio career, especially how to position yourself when you have multiple areas of experience and interest without making it look like you’re doing everything.
@Michelle Wanguku Shiroya This is a great angle. I think many of us have varied interests and struggle with how to present that coherently. Would love this session too.
@Michelle Shiroya Thank you for raising this as it is one of the challenges many of us are facing.
@Rhoda Nakhosi This is a good topic and it is a very crucial one.
@Rhoda Nakhosi Appreciate the thoughtful suggestions! Making the session interactive and prioritizing the topics sound like great ideas. I'm taking this into consideration and consulting the person responsible for the schedule to see how we can best execute this. I'll share an update as soon as I get their input.
@Nonvicks Ochieng We can also consider topic around Ai preparedness and change management
@guest591@aphrc.org This is a great point adding AI preparedness and change management to the list makes a lot of sense. I'll include these in my conversation with the responsible team member to see where they fit best into the calendar.
