IT Intern

  1. Job function (e.g., overall role, assigned tasks) – During my summer internship, I worked at Alexion as an IT Intern where I was assigned an individual project that I had to complete during my 10 weeks. Since every IT intern got their own individual project, I was in charge of everything for my project so I scheduled meetings with stakeholders to gain insight and understand what my final deliverable needed to look like. In addition to this project, I attended numerous meetings and events where I was exposed to other parts of the company like Research & Development, Finance, Process Development, IT Risk, and Cybersecurity.
  2. Examples of projects (e.g., list the projects you worked on and what you accomplished) – The project I was assigned to was referred to as “Mission Micro-Learning” where I was tasked with researching Alexion’s current IT training landscape as well as the concept of Micro-Learning and how Alexion can improve training effectiveness. Again, I met with stakeholders to understand Alexion’s current training pain points and how I could improve training effectiveness. My deliverables included a User Requirements Specification document, a scorecard to compare Micro-Learning platforms, a Proof of Concept training inside of MindTickle (the Micro-Learning platform of choice) on the topic of Online Threats, and a final presentation within MindTickle to show how I understood and utilized the platform’s capabilities.
  3. What you learned and how it relates to your major (e.g., describe what you learned from this experience in the context of specific courses) – My role in my project was the Business Analyst so I gained more insight into the BA role in a corporate setting. Although I took the skills I learned in MIS3506 about being a BA and applied them to my internship role, I also strengthened these skills throughout my summer because I was able to see how transferable they are in the real world.
