HOW DID YOU FIND OUT ABOUT GÉANT?

While looking for an internship as part of my university course, I came across GÉANT’s intern role online, and following a bit of research into the company, I knew it was a place I wanted to work at. I also discovered GÉANT created eduroam which was used at my university, so I was intrigued to learn more!

WHAT DOES A DAY AT GÉANT LOOK LIKE FOR YOU?

Every day presents me with something slightly different which I really enjoy. When I’m not asking people to try turning it off and on again, my daily tasks can range from responding to tickets requiring me to investigate new software incompatibilities, creating and deactivating accounts, and setting up and installing new hardware.
