I’ve successfully collaborated with local universities, tailoring internship programs that aligned seamlessly with my business requirements. Having run a business with a very well-established team, many of whom had been with the business for over 10 years, I understand the transformative power that interns bring, injecting new life and fresh ideas into the organisational culture. Over the years, the interns played a pivotal role in revitalising the workforce and had various roles in, marketing, IT support, and sustainability.
I collaborate with you to specify the roles and responsibilities of the interns, ensuring they add tangible value to your business, who they report to; here, I recommend a Board member or Manager. Mentoring is a cornerstone of a successful internship program. I can work with you to define mentorship structures and designate roles within the organisation for effective guidance. Whether it’s through facilitating the first interviews to shortlist for final interviews or being involved throughout the entire interview and onboarding process, I offer flexible engagement options to suit your needs.
Let’s collaboratively design an impactful internship program that not only enriches the skills of emerging talents but also adds substantial value to your business. Beyond the immediate benefits, aligning your internship with ESG goals, particularly in the ‘Social’ aspect, contributes to a socially responsible and sustainable business model. Join us in unlocking the potential of internship programs to shape the future of your workforce and contribute positively to your company’s goals.
Internship programs are essential for injecting new life and fresh ideas into the organisational culture. Leveraging interns brings a dynamic perspective and diverse skill sets that can contribute to the overall growth of the business.
In a technology company, an internship program focused on IT support could introduce new technologies and approaches to problem-solving, revitalising the company's technical capabilities.
Collaborating with local universities establishes a strategic connection that ensures internship programs align seamlessly with the business's requirements. This collaboration can lead to a pool of emerging talents tailored to specific needs.
In a marketing agency, collaborating with universities for interns with marketing backgrounds ensures a talent pool well-versed in the latest marketing trends and strategies.
Defining clear roles and responsibilities for interns is crucial for ensuring they add tangible value to the business. Additionally, establishing mentorship structures contributes to their growth and assimilation into the organisational culture.
In a sustainability consultancy, interns could have roles in sustainability research and analysis. Assigning mentors within the organisation ensures their work aligns with the company's objectives.
