Prosple Profiles

A high effort grade is more important than an A+.

The locals I met during the village visits and about the town we lived in gave me such a different understanding of the world – it was a great contrast to my suburban life and really grounded me in reality.

By meeting real people who are working under various socio-economic conditions, scale of operation, and stages of the agricultural supply chain, you were able to gain deep knowledge of the sector and its unique problems, successes and points of difference.

I loved the people in my internship. We had about 17 other interns, and my team consisted of about 12 people. They were all lovely, and all understood that I was an intern, not a person with years of experience, so the work that they gave me reflected that.

I had the flexibility I could catch a coffee with a colleague during my break or go for a peaceful walk down the botanic gardens watching the ducks go down the river during lunch.

Finding a balance of physical, emotional, and mental wellbeing is critical to success, and doing what makes you happy is a key enabler for this.

Talking directly with families and hearing how their lives have improved as a direct result of CARE’s work is really rewarding.
