These two weeks have been very short because of the memorial day weekend but filled with learning and working on projects!
During week 5, I spent all my time finishing up the Marketing prospects project for the operations department. I was able to gather all the information needed for the branches in the counties serviced by AgCredit so they are better able to serve their members. I also continued to work on going through the past picnic and Christmas party files and finished up putting all the information into an Excel spreadsheet for the marketing department to utilize when planning the next event. I finished off week five attending the employee picnic. This was a great opportunity for me to talk with other employees at different branches and create relationships with those that I might not have had the opportunity to.
Week 6 (this week) I have worked on a bunch of research for the HR department regarding Employer branding. They really want to revamp their strategies and find some new ones that they can implement to share their name and culture with more potential job candidates. A lot of this is marketing based so I have been using the skills learned in many of the classes I have taken about communicating ideas and opinions to come up with potential strategies that would reach more people in the most efficient way.
On Tuesday all the interns visited the Kenton Branch for the whole day to talk about the different operations across the association and what each job position is in charge of. There was a lot of information given to us, but it was super exciting to see what a typical day in a branch office would look like because I am not working in the same environment as an administrative intern. Then on Wednesday (today) I came back to the office and worked on more employer branding research. I am really looking forward to how this project is going to turn out and what opportunities will arise for the HR department when looking to hire.
I will see you all next week!
