The past months of my internship have been very instructive for me. Kenya Institute of curriculum Development has gave me an opportunities to learn and develop myself in many areas. I gained a lot of experience, especially in the market planning field. A lot of the tasks and activities that I have worked on during my internship are familiar with what I’m studying at the moment. The area that I found most interesting is marketing & communication. By developing a marketing plan, I had to do lots of research where I had to find the best way of marketing the institute. I learned many things about viral marketing by using and learning about social media tools.
This internship was definitely an introduction to the actual work field for me. I have learned to work in a business organisation and apply my knowledge into practice.
I learned a lot from the different interns that I have been working with during my internship. Each intern had a different educational background and that made it interesting for me. By working with them I got to learn from them and become aware educational background.
