As part of our series on making the most of your summer 2021 we invited students to tell us what they did last summer.

Our time in college shapes us and helps us prepare for early graduate careers.  Making the most of your summer is about getting a summer job (if possible) and critically it is also about exploring aspects of you that builds confidence, curiosity, courage and resilience that will help YOU as you develop your career.

Charlie Kinsella is a Final year Accounting and Finance student. Last summer Charlie worked in his local golf club and got the opportunity to participate in a two week virtual internship in PWC.

Charlie shares his insights he gained from doing the internship and the importance of soft skills for the world of work. He is currently PWC’s campus ambassador for DCU.

Charlie, like many of us, discovered great places in his local area and made some suggestions on what to visit if we get an opportunity this summer.
