On my first day at Main Roads working in the strategy and
communications directorate, I have been asked to attend a collaborative
workshop about the company’s new strategic direction. This workshop involved
the whole directorate with the focus on understanding the effect of this new
strategy.
For me the workshop was a great way to meet everyone in the
directorate and understand the different roles of the people I will be working
with over the next few weeks. I got to contribute my thoughts in some of the
group discussion as well, by using my external views as a Curtin PR student. It
definitely gave me a greater understanding of what Main Roads hopes to achieve
as well as why things are changing for the better at Main Roads.
These workshops were to be carried out across the whole of
Main Roads which involves all directorates and all the regions. It was a great
example of internal communication and showed just how important it is for Main
Roads to ensure all employees are engaged and aware of the new strategic
direction.
It was a great experience but I definitely still have a lot
to learn, as there are some exciting times ahead at Main Roads.

Thats really interesting Matthew. I found in my internship i was in the same situation, where i didn't know all that much about the industry i would be working in (resources and trades) but it really helped to be given the information and know about the subject. I think you will find that it will influence you more then you know. This would be such an exciting place to do an internship, as you said the company has such a large influence on so many WA roads. Good luck with the internship.
