What are the best ways to maximize your statistics internship?

I will shortly put it as: 1. Learn: The opportunity to acquire hands on knowledge from industry professionals is one that should be milked. This learning feeds into the next point below. 2. Ask: The best way to learn is to first of all practice and then ask. The journey an intern is embarking on has already been walked by those amidst you, so ask even the smallest questions. No one ever gets it right the first time. 3. Engage: I would say this is the hardest part for me. What most call, "networking". I would advise you to first of all know your character, it helps shape a roadmap for the approach and builds sustainability. Close to niching but from a different perspective.

Suss out the person or people that you will work with because you need to learn not just be free labour - if they only suffer you and don’t care then join someone else.

Utilize the resources provided, including prestigious institution-led training programs, workshops, and online courses, to expand your skill set beyond the scope of your daily responsibilities. Foster connections by engaging with peoples from diverse backgrounds, attending virtual events, joining team activities, and actively participating in conversations to widen your professional network.

As a statistics student pursuing a PG Diploma in Applied Statistics, I stand at a crossroads. Integrating statistical knowledge into my current job aligns with my AI/ML Product Management goal. While internships in diverse fields offer allure, applying statistics in my role enriches my journey, serving as a stepping stone to my envisioned career. This personalized approach intertwines academia and profession, propelling me towards my goal.

This is one thing you can do. First try out the projects assigned to you by the respective organisation. Then complete it in an acceptable manner within the given time line and delivering the desired outcomes. Then, with the help of the supervisors, ask for more challenging projects in the organisation with focusing on different aspects. For an example. If you work in a bank, you could focus on aspects such as customer retention,fraud detection, customer analysis, demand forecasting etc.

To learn from networks and others, immerse yourself in diverse perspectives. Engage in meaningful conversations, absorb insights, & leverage social networks.Attend events, webinars, or workshops to expand your knowledge base.Actively participate in forums,where you can share ideas and learn from the experiences of others.Embrace a continuous learning mindset,staying open to new information. Networking provides valuable opportunities to connect with professionals in your field.Establish mentor-mentee relationships to gain personalized guidance.Seek out feedback and constructive criticism to refine your skills.Collaborate on projects with diverse teams to broaden your understanding of different approaches. Networking bring osmose of learning

Having a personal blog offers a valuable platform to share daily learnings. In the absence of one, platforms like LinkedIn or Medium serve as excellent alternatives. Posting daily summaries, discussing research papers, and sharing insights not only document my learning journey but also contribute to building a professional network. This approach not only showcases my expertise but also serves as a self-marketing tool, establishing a presence in the learning community.

Very well said. Feedback is one of desirable prespective. That is what I believe as it was applied by me during my active service
