Duration of the Internship

03.03.2021 to 03.04.2021 

Work hours: Flexible (as it was an online internship)

How did you Apply?

I applied through e-mail and got the offer letter. Later on, I accepted the offer.

First Day Formalities, Infrastructure and First Impression

Since the internship was online; a WhatsApp group was made for regular contact with the interns. Also, regular contact through e-mail was kept. The first day we were introduced to our fellow interns and after that, we were told our internship roles.

A zoom session was also organized for the briefing of the roles as interns in this organization. 

Internship Experience

Main tasks as interns were:

1. Designing socio-economic content once every week.
2. Assisting the team across various campaign/initiatives.
3. Working on landmark judgment, reporting, and analysis and raising legal awareness.
4. Timely response when called upon to do so.

Substantially, our main work as interns was to write articles, blogs and papers.

But my exams collided with the internship dates and the internship unit was humble enough to let me have my time for my exam preparation. As soon as my exams got over I resumed working.

Work Environment

The work environment was good and the internship unit was friendly and helpful. They helped us whenever and however possible. Everyone was good with their work and they tried to guide us in the best possible way.

All the official work is done in the English language and through e-mails and WhatsApp.

Accommodation, Commuting to Office

This internship was an online internship, which is why it is a kind of work from home. 

Good Things

You will learn to research thoroughly and write inefficient manner complying with the word and time limits. Working hours for interns can be flexible. The whole team is very humble, understanding and cooperative.

Also, one very important and commendable thing I would like to mention is that the Founder himself takes the feedback about the working environment or whether you faced any harassment or so. This really helps in feeling safe as a female intern.  

Bad Things

No bad things as such. 

Stipend

None

Overall Rating out of 5

Working in C.C. as an intern was a very satisfactory and enlightening experience. I would recommend this internship to enhance one’s writing and researching skills. 4.5 out of 5.
