Hi again everyone! I’m Anaika and I am back to talk about my incredible second week working at Netcare Access.

I started this week off strong with a Pickleball Event hosted by Netcare and Maryhaven. It was mostly run by my two supervisors, so I got to jump right into all the event planning and set up. The event was on Saturday and included a free Pickleball Clinic as well as a competitive, friendly competition in the afternoon. As a marketing intern for Netcare, I was able to assist in setting up our event, as well as, helped direct players and competitors to their respective courts. It was an incredible opportunity to meet Netcare staff and board members in a social, casual setting while understanding what the behind the scenes of an event of this scale looks like.

This week at work, I got to dive into a lot of different softwares that we use. I learned how to schedule social media posts, how to design and write professional emails, and even how to edit our website! My favorite task of the week was drafting an engaging email for all of our subscribers including event pictures, sponsorships, and just general information as a recap of our weekend event.

The last few days I was also introduced to a new project. The HR team came to us with a request for a hiring campaign that would ideally increase the number of applicants we get for specific staff positions. My mentor and I had a meeting with HR where we discussed all of our goals and ideas for the campaign, and I had the opportunity to start drafting up some social media posts for it. I am extremely excited to continue working on this campaign!

Overall, I had another incredible and fun week at Netcare while also getting to know my mentors and other staff much better. I am looking forward to future weeks and opportunities with the team!

Best,

Anaika
