Summer at the Network usually starts off with our Annual Intern Virtual Brown Bag Lunch with the boss. 🤣 And what a pleasure it was to welcome our new intern class, another fantastic group of talented individuals and rising star professionals. 🌟 It's amazing to see students joining us from a wide range of colleges, from Princeton to Loyal University, some having just graduated, and others pursuing law degrees. Their diverse backgrounds and perspectives bring a breath of fresh air into our organization, which we believe is critical to helping us keep the Network responsive to the next generation of talent. These bright, engaging individuals have truly impressed me with their insightful questions and enthusiasm. One standout moment was when one of the interns asked, "What surprised you most about the industry, and what is something you never thought you would learn when you created this organization?" It made me reflect on the incredible journey we've had and the ever-evolving nature of our field, which we all agreed keeps us engaged, challenged and passionate about offshore wind. Over the years, our internship program has grown significantly, becoming more and more competitive. This is a direct reflection of the increasing interest in offshore wind, courses being offered in colleges and exposure to the industry at younger ages. What's particularly exciting is how well-prepared they are. These interns come with a solid understanding of the industry, allowing us to dive straight into more advanced discussions and put them to work on some complex projects. Are you seeing similar trends with your internship program? Are there other insights you want to share? Or just brag about your new summer talent? We would love to hear from you and please do tell us about the summer students lending their intellect and time to our industry. Here's to the NextWave of industry professionals and the continued growth of all of our internship programs! #InternshipProgram #FutureLeaders #CareerDevelopment #OffshoreWind

#notounpaidinternships In times of inflation, it is essential for internship programs to offer stipends. While companies and industries may earn millions, if they choose to engage interns, they should ensure that at least basic needs are met. In the current circumstances where even commuting expenses have risen significantly, it's crucial to set aside enough money to cover these costs. When students undertake internships, they invest their time, energy, and often incur expenses such as transportation and meals. Providing a stipend not only acknowledges their efforts but also ensures that financial constraints do not hinder their ability to gain valuable work experience. Moreover, it fosters a sense of fairness and inclusivity within the workplace, demonstrating a commitment to support the next generation of professionals. Therefore, in the face of inflation, offering internship stipends is not only a matter of practicality but also a matter of equity and respect for the efforts of interns. #unpaidinternship #petrolprice #payinternees

📊 Excited to share a snapshot of my recent project during my virtual internship with PwC Switzerland offered by Forage! 🚀 📞 As part of my internship, I had the opportunity to analyze and visualize call center data, gaining valuable insights into call trends and agent performance. 🔍 Some highlights: Call Volume Trends: Identified peak hours and days for call center activity. Agent Performance: Evaluated performance of agents. Calls Answered vs. Not Answered: Visualized the distribution of calls for each agent and overall. #PwCInternship #DataAnalysis #Dashboard #CallCenter #DataVisualization #VirtualInternship #PwCExperience

Last week, the interns wrapped up a 10-week internship program here on the JLL @ Capital One Account. After a few days to process the experience, some reflections I had: 1. This was the most rewarding experience of my career - from resume to interview to hiring to managing. This experience afforded me management experience as well as an opportunity to share my knowledge and learn from the next generation of top talent. 2. The future is bright! I managed one intern but interacted with many of them. They brought fresh energy, perspectives, and solutions. 3. I can do something I never thought I could do. I always shied away from being a people manager. I did not think it was for me or that I could be successful at it. I’ve learned that I think it’s time to reevaluate my goals and career path. If you have a chance to become an intern manager, I highly recommend it!

✨ Student News ✨ Full-time MBA student, Bibhuti Mishra, was featured on the Broad College of Business Blog, where he reflected on his professional growth and the insights that he gained from his procurement and supply chain internship at Chevron. "It was a privilege to work on projects that were not just theoretical but had a tangible impact on the company’s operations.” Read more here: https://lnkd.in/eky9USzb #MSUSCM

Internships are crucial for students as they bridge the gap between academic learning and real-world application. Taking internships seriously offers invaluable opportunities for skill development, networking and practical experience. It allows students to apply theoretical knowledge in a professional setting, fostering a deeper understanding of their field. Internships also provide a chance to build a professional network, gaining mentors and connections that can influence future career opportunities. Taking internships seriously demonstrates dedication, work ethic, and a commitment to personal and professional growth, qualities highly valued by employers. Successful internships often lead to job offers, as companies prefer candidates with hands-on experience. In nut shell , approaching internships with seriousness is an investment in one's future, offering a competitive edge and a smoother transition from academia to the workforce.

For National Intern Day, I’d like to take a moment to recognize the wonderful work being done by the nine interns who joined our U.S. team this summer. At Ørsted, we talk a lot about the ways in which clean energy is crucial to reinvigorating core American industries, creating jobs in shipping, manufacturing, construction, and steelmaking. But in that discussion, it can be easy to overlook the why of it all. Why are we building clean energy today? Our answer: to shape tomorrow. The economy of tomorrow needs more domestic energy, the kind that strengthens national security and prioritizes the world around us. Future generations will create that world, starting with the early career talent dedicating their summer to Ørsted. That future is Kalina, interning with our Innovation team; Mimi, supporting Federal & Regulatory Affairs; Charles, working in Permitting & Marine Affairs. It's all the interns supporting our work across teams and departments, many of whom I’ve had the pleasure to meet. I see our internship program as a chance to bring the next generation into the clean energy workforce, and as an extension of Ørsted’s long-running Graduate Program. We have a range of roles open in project management, innovation, regulatory affairs, and more, functions our interns contribute to every day. As a region, we’re aiming to recruit interns annually, with the next cohort joining us in Summer 2025. I hope to see enthusiastic new faces in Texas, Rhode Island, New York, Illinois – anywhere our teams need an extra pair of hands to shape a cleaner tomorrow. https://us.orsted.com/
