EMERGE Internship/Placement Experience

My internship experience with EMERGE last summer is one of the best experience I have ever had in my life! As a project intern with EMERGE, I engaged with two vital development issues: environmental sustainability and food security. At EMERGE Recycling, I designed and conducted customer satisfaction surveys for over 400 clients in order to assess confidential paper shredding and waste collection services, thereby bringing about better resource management and promoting 3Rs (Reduce, Reuse and Recycle) within the wider community. I also collaborated with colleagues at FareShare Greater Manchester (part of EMERGE) on their community food redistribution initiative to tackle food waste and food poverty in and around Manchester.
