Highlights from our Global Internships

“It was a pleasure to have Zara in the team. She has set a high standard for the next work placement student. My colleagues were very impressed that, even without any prior work experience, Zara could keep up with the pace of tasks assigned to her. Compliments to the school as well, because Zara brought with her a solid knowledge of SharePoint and PowerPoint, essential for office workers!”
– Catherine Dietrich, CFO, Allianz X GmbH

“I really enjoyed learning about ESG and Credit Research, meeting other interns and the lovely people who work at Orchard Global. I gained an understanding of the financial sector and have uncovered a potential career path.”
– Clemmie, Lower Sixth

“Clemmie showed a particular interest in ESG and so I have provided her with the contact details of Marc (Global Head of ESG) as she wanted to ask him some questions. I am thrilled that Clemmie had an excellent week!”
– Orchard Global

“I watched some incredible surgeries and it was just such great experience, I now have a really rounded idea of what it will be like to be an equine vet. The whole experience has definitely strengthened my resolve and made me really look forward to the next stage. I will be seriously recommending this internship!”
– Iona, Lower Sixth

“We just wanted to say what a delight it was meet Iona and have her spend her 2 week internship with us. She is a keen, bright young woman who is a credit to the school and her family. We found her to be quite mature in her attitude and she was able to interact well with other team members and clients better than most vet students! I think she has a good understanding of what a career in veterinary practice would look like and the various career options this degree would give her. We sincerely hope that she gains a place at vet school – in our opinion she is exactly what the profession needs.”
– Katie Wilcox, BVSc Cert AVP Cert VBM MRCVS, Director, Avenel Equine Hospital 

“I have come away with a good insight into the world of PR through working closely with the beauty team, from creating pitches to picking up extra stock at Boots. All of the team were so accommodating and always helpful when I needed guidance, and I am completely aware of the time and kindness that takes. I have gained a lot of experience which I will never forget.”
– Claudia, Lower Sixth

“They were both BRILLIANT. The team wanted to hire them there and then on the spot as they were both so helpful and wonderful. A total asset to Downe House and we would welcome them both back again if they ever wanted to do further work experience.”
– Alexandra Huxford, Executive Assistant, Halpern PR

“One evening we went to an entrepreneur’s pitch where 5 people were trying to get funding for their start-ups. I found it really interesting.”
– Georgie, Lower Sixth

“It was a great experience having Sonya and Georgie with us. They are pleasant and bright girls. It was their first time in an office environment, which was a tiny bit intimidating at the beginning. Over time they felt much more confident, started asking questions and brought suggestions.”
– 30Thirty Capital

“It was really amazing to learn and discuss the theory behind everything Nurture Landscapes does, and then be able to see it on their live working sites. I also really enjoyed learning from so many people, and just being able to talk to them and learn things that I had never come across before.”
– Cassie, Lower Sixth

“I really enjoyed the broadness of information received from various different departments and the in-depth knowledge about different business processes.”
