Learn International

During the uncertain times of a worldwide pandemic, I felt lost and uncertain of how to proceed in my career. So many of my friends had internships cancelled on them and the job market felt like a total loss. I feel incredibly lucky, and so thankful, that I found Learn International. Having their guidance and expertise for a virtual internship changed my perspective on just what I could do when I was stuck at home and thought I could do nothing at all. If you're looking for a way to build your portfolio and resume with real-world experience then don't hesitate and join the virtual internship programme!

I am currently in the middle of my virtual internship with Learn International and am really please with how it is going. This opportunity appeared at the perfect time, while stuck in lockdown, and meant that I was able to gain experience for my CV while everything else was closed. The virtual aspect of the internship was something I was unsure of but has actually turned into a really great part of the internship as I don't have to travel, can wear comfy clothes and am in the comfort of my own home. The Learn International staff have all been really friendly and helpful, and the orientation process made starting the internship easier as I felt I was well prepared. I would definitely recommend their internship programme and not let the virtual aspect worry you as I have learnt great transferrable skills for a different type of working!

Due to Covid-19, my internship changed from in-person to remote. I was very happy that my internship placement worked with me to continue my internship and not postpone my initial plans. My virtual internship allowed me to gain knowledge and skills pertaining to my career plan. I was able to take on independent projects and feel apart of the company team. Communication was fluid with morning team calls, quick email responses, daily check ins with my supervisor and weekly check ins with company co-founders.
