Wondering whether to apply? Here’s what some of our previous interns have said about the experience:
- “The highlight was getting to work with other people I hadn't met before (working on my teambuilding and communication skills), getting to represent a huge national organisation, creating our own content and deciding ourselves how we wanted to run our social media accounts.”
- “I loved producing high quality content and collaborating with the other interns. It was really exciting later on in the year when we started to get more interaction on Twitter.”
- “Meeting new people who share my same passion for languages and coming together to create something valuable was a high point for me.”
