    Hi Ranju, Thanks for your question! From a team manager’s perspective, trainees add the most value when they bring a problem-solving mindset, a curiosity to understand the bigger picture, and strong analytical thinking. Being able to break down complex problems, identify dependencies, and reason through trade-offs helps in planning work effectively. Clear communication and collaboration also make a big difference, as planning often involves aligning with multiple stakeholders. I hope this helps clarify what’s generally valued in this context.
