This document summarizes an internship at Abu Dhabi EHS (Abu Dhabi Environment Health and Safety Center) where the intern engaged in tasks like writing emails and calls, creating PowerPoints and proposals, research, design work, translation, and more. The internship helped them learn about asking questions when unsure, being professional, organizing work, learning through observation, and presentation techniques. The environment and employees were described positively and the intern believes the experience will help them get a job in the future. Suggestions are made for Zayed University to provide more internship preparation and job application support.
