From morning meetings and stakeholder conversations to research, analysis and time spent working independently, the Company Projects experience is varied day-to-day.
Harriet starts her day with a morning walk with the dog, getting some fresh air before settling down to work on her Company Project with partner Zest Marketing. For Diya, the day starts by heading into M3 Agency, ready to make progress on her latest tasks.


By 11am, Harriet is focused on her research at home, while Diya is working through her tasks and developing her ideas in the city centre.


After a busy morning, Harriet takes some time away from her screen to enjoy lunch outside and get some fresh air.
Diya uses her lunch break to catch up with stakeholders, sharing updates and discussing the next steps for her project.


In the afternoon, Harriet gets back to her research, analysing her findings and thinking about how they can support her project work.
After finishing up in the city centre, Diya heads home to continue working on her project and make sure everything is on track.


Harriet combines a walk with a few client calls, catching up on the latest updates while getting some time away from her desk.
Back at home, Diya takes the opportunity to proofread her work, checking the details and making sure everything is ready for the next stage of her project.


Once the working day is done, Harriet takes some time for herself, catching up and enjoying self-care.
Diya switches off from her project and catches up with a friend over dinner, making time to relax after a productive day.


Harriet rounds off her day with dinner before winding down and getting ready for tomorrow.
After a full day of balancing Company Project work and her evening plans, Diya calls it a night and gets ready for some well-earned sleep.


While no two days are the same, both Harriet and Diya are putting their learning into practice, working on real business challenges and developing skills they can take into their future careers.
