📅 Only one week left until the doors open to the annual Global Internship Conference (GIC)! 🎉 This year, experts and enthusiasts will gather to discuss the crucial topic of "Collaborating to Shape Future Talent." 🌟   🤝 When I first heard about the GIC, I was excited to meet new talents and learn from other companies about their approaches to attracting interns. But I soon realized that this event is much more than that. It's a platform where representatives from governments, educational institutions, enterprises, and talents come together to exchange ideas, learn from each other, and explore ways to collaborate more effectively.   🍰 I've experienced firsthand the value of internships, from my first internship at a confectionary, where I was amazed by the precision and interactive dance of the pastry chefs, to my later internships, where I noticed my growth and development. 🤔  In my professional life, recruiting interns has always been a team effort to create appealing job ads and offer extra incentives. However, this was not necessarily an effort across different teams, even less so considering its relevance for the educational sector and a country.    💡 Now, I'm thrilled to have the opportunity to broaden my horizons and hear from governments and education about their approaches to shaping talent.    🌱 This is us opening the plenary. May we spark engaging discussions, illuminating meetings, and making new connections that will help us all collaborate better.   - Lord David Anderson of Ipswich KBE KC, UK Parliament - Mariana Peters, Change Consultant for Bosch, Deutsche Bahn, and Individuals - Rebecca Pasini, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Private Sector Exchanges, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, U.S. Department of State - Jane Swift, President, Education at Work - Ahmad Ezzeddine, Vice President for Academic Student Affairs and Global Engagement, Wayne State University and Vice President for Scholarship & Institutional Strategy, NAFSA   🎤 Share your voice, and let's shape the future of talent together. #GlobalInternshipConference #GIC #futureTalent #collaboration #london

'Life punishes the vague wish and rewards the specific ask.' Tim Ferris 100% true. Here is one of my experiences where a specific ask changed my life. 👇 When I finished business school in Vienna, Austria, I attended a cocktail class with my class and the executive MBA class. I met a gentleman who worked at OPEC and he asked me what I wanted to do. Rather than giving a vague answer, I was very specific. I said, 'I want to work in Vienna with a local company and live here.' His response was... Interestingly, one of my classmates just became the business unit president for his company, and he's looking for talented people. I should introduce the two of you. Two weeks later, I had a call with his classmate, and he offered me a summer internship where I traveled to many of their worldwide offices. At the end of the summer, I was offered a full-time position; they sponsored my work visa and paid to relocate my household to Austria. The rest is history. I learned a new language and what it's like to immigrate to a new country. I got a world-class course on business and life. Negotiated with some of the biggest companies in the world. Made lifelong friends. My advice is to be as specific as possible with your next ask. Be careful! You're likely to get it. #bespecific #askforwhatyouwant

Time flies, but the learning stays. Always supplement your knowledge with skills. Developing the right competence is as significant as having a broad knowledge base. Whatever role you undertake, you will need transferable skills. Diverse skills set could be developed by participating in extra curricular activities whether it's through sports, cultural events, internships, structured programs. In the picture, I graduated from a leadership program at the British Parliament. #SkillsDevelopment #ExtracurricularActivities #LeadershipProgram
