We had another intern! Ashvin is a year 10 GCSE Geography student who dedicated 4 days of his half term to learn about sustainability and spend time with the KLH team. Being his first internship, Ashvin had no idea what was in store for him, although he had heard about sustainability since Year 3, he wanted to expand his knowledge on the subject and of course we were on board when he reached out to us. When asked to describe his experience with KLH, Ashvin said: - “When KLH’s phone number flashed up on the screen when googling “sustainability”, I couldn’t help but to call them. I was already aware of a few buzzwords related to the subject from both the media and school, but it was at KLH that I was exposed to a variety of technical terms. Despite the relaxed atmosphere, you would be surprised by how much gets done. I had the pleasure of sitting in on a few meetings, and although I unfortunately could not contribute, I did however fully appreciate how intelligent everyone was, and more importantly, how they made sure everyone’s voice was heard, eloquently expressing their ideas throughout. The balance between creativity and analytical thinking at KLH is so unique to the sustainability sector: only two days after creating a sketch of a site for Lizzy Pettitt, I found myself working through calculations for Borja Bustamante Mediavilla and Bhawana Chaudhary. The meetings with the directors were true highlights, with their unique perspectives leading to insightful conversations. - I felt welcome and part of the team, and I learned so much in these few days, both about sustainability and my fellow KLHers, even managing to have a bit of fun whilst doing it.” If you are interested in in joining our internship program, keep an eye on our page as we will be sharing some exciting news soon! 😊 #sustainability #internshipprogram #creativity #summerinternship #intern

Every opportunity for growth should not be taken lightly. I have always had a flare for public speaking and public engagement. After my experience during my NYSC camp with the OBS (Orientation Broadcasting Service), I looked forward to getting into that space. Well, you know what they say when you are signed out from the university "The labour market will favour you". For me, it has not been so anyway but notwithstanding, I keep pushing for growth. It's been 3 months since I had the opportunity to intern at a radio station without pay and it's been an amazing 3 months of growth, learning and unlearning, making connections and friends and just living my best life. I have learned that growth comes with a price. One which everyone should be willing to pay if they truly desire growth. #pubicspeaking #growth #internship #learningprocess #onairpersonality.

Free Webinar This Weekend! School may be in session now, but summer is a great opportunity for students to gain valuable experiences outside the classroom, and planning ahead is important. In recent years, research internships have become an important part of the college admission process, and your student can start building an impressive research resume as early as 9th grade. A student's extracurricular profile has become a significant factor in college admissions, speaking volumes to a student's intellectual curiosity, personal excellence, and character. So how do you go about building one? Should a student display a wide variety of interests or deep interest in a single field? Do colleges care about the quantity over quality of activities? How can you distinguish yourself from other applicants? This is the time to showcase to colleges your passions and accomplishments outside of the classroom. Learn more and register at: https://hubs.li/Q02dX4ct0 #event #free #freeevent #webinar #virtual #onlineevent #student #school #education #highschool #college #extracurricularactivities #summer #summerplanning #volunteer #internship #eca #flexcollegeprep

Meet Abe, one of our winter research interns. We are delighted that Abe decided to escape the cold and spend a few weeks with us. Our winter interns not only get the rare experience of hands-on learning from some of the industry’s most creative minds, they also get the chance to enjoy the sunshine, blue skies and warm temperatures of South Florida winters. Our research interns spend their time working with deep historical data that spans an expansive universe of trading instruments. We asked Abe to share a bit about his experience… 𝗧𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝘂𝘀 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲. I was given a very interesting problem with a variety of different potential approaches. I really enjoyed learning about new topics, hypothesizing, and experimenting with code. Everyone here is very kind, welcoming, and knowledgeable. I can see that they truly care about each other and are working hard to push the company forward. Finally, I had a blast outside of work attending a Miami HEAT game with some of my team, as well as participating in a clay shoot charity event. 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝗶𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗿? This internship has been a great preparation for what a full-time career as a researcher looks like. The research team is full of brilliant, hardworking people who are happy to pass on their knowledge and place you in the best environment to succeed. I was given a very challenging problem to solve, very applicable to the types of problems that researchers here tackle daily. From the first day, I received incredible support. I met almost daily with members of the team and was able to discuss ideas I had, receive feedback on my work, and get suggestions on avenues to explore. I learned so much not only about statistical and modeling techniques but also about how researchers think about and frame problems. I feel vastly more prepared for future opportunities.

Self-reflection: Fifth month of Internship ✅ As I sit back and update my industrial training logbook, I wonder: 'What have I learned? Have I changed after stepping into corporate?' Reflecting on my university days, where I conducted experiments and presented projects to lecturers within tight time constraints, I realize I've undergone a transformation. Back then, I needed to speak fast to cover all topics in a presentation. One of the most noticeable changes is in the way I communicate. In the workplace, I engage with various audiences, educating them about animals. I converse with kids, adults, and senior citizens, adapting my speech regardless of their gender or ethnicity. Reflecting on my journey, it's clear how my communication style has evolved since university time. Working with a variety of people in the corporate world, from kids to senior citizens, allowed me to adapt my speech for different audiences. It's a constant learning experience, and I'm navigating this transformation with each conversation. #internshipjourney

Student at Union High School. Being Involved in my School and community I have developed time management, customer service skills, team work, and leadership skills. In the future I look forward to working in Education.
My tasks as an elementary intern. The first thing I do when I arrive at my internship is ask if my advisors need any help. If not, I usually take my reading group. We follow an intrusted packet comprising reading comprehension, grammar, and writing. After my reading group, I usually help with fluency readings and then move on to help with the math lesson. My role in math is to help struggling students complete the worksheet and homework. In my second internship, I often helped with science lessons. I help students complete their science projects and experiments. If there is no experiment/project, I do prep work, grade papers, or make copies. Once a month, I try to make a drink run to give my internship advisors a little pick me up; life as an intern can be stressful, but for the most part, it is a lot of fun. With school sadly ending, I spend a lot of time outside with my students playing four square, eating treats, and playing kickball. It's little moments like this that make my elementary intern experience spectacular!

Short Internships for students of the School of Society and Culture My colleague Lee Whittock and I deal with all things employability related for the School of Society and Culture, alongside, but separate from, our colleagues in The Careers Team. This semester we received funding from the School to roll out short, 35 hour internships for students to gain real-world work experience in the community, while being paid at the student ambassador rate. So far we have created and filled 59 internships, in multiple and diverse areas such as content creation, research, youth work, heritage, web design, public liaison, digital development, community outreach, project manager and many more. These have made a big difference, both to the students and their CVs, and the agencies who have provided the opportunities and might otherwise not have had the resources to get the necessary work done. There are still some internships up for grabs - check them out on MyCareer - but the deadlines are imminent. Watch this space for more opportunities in semester two! #universityofplymouth #schoolofsocietyandculture #students #internships #workexperience #communityengagement #communityimpact #smallbusinesses #cvbuilding
