Top tips from our expert Internship Program Supervisors & Managing Director.

HOW TO SKYROCKET IN

YOUR INTERNSHIP:

“Get to know your host organisation.

Do your research.Visit their company

website, their Facebook page, their

LinkedIn and Twitter accounts. Find out

who they are, what they do, and what

they stand for. Make sure to share all that

you know with your supervisor and

colleagues. This shows your interest in

your host organisation and your

appreciation for being accepted for an

internship.” Eriko Yanagisawa Internship Program Supervisor

“Even the small things are important.

Almost every internship starts with very

basic tasks. You may not always find

them interesting. This this as an

opportunity to show your host

organisation that you are capable of

completing every task given to you with

precision and positive attitude. Once you

have shown that you’ve mastered the

simple tasks, you will be given more

challenging duties.” Annika Paananen

Internship Program Supervisor

“Communication is key.

Open and honest communication is important in developing great

relationships. Having solid relationships within your host organisation is the best way to receive the support you need to

help you though any situation.” Izumi Davis

Internship Program Supervisor

“Take every opportunity to learn.

Try to learn something about everything,

and everything about something. Take in

as much knowledge as you can during

your internship, from anyone that’s willing

to share it. This is the best way to

discover what opportunities are out there

and help you to determine just what

direction you would like to take your

career.” Caroline Cooney Internship Program Supervisor

“Attitude is everything.

Be the type of person that you would love

to be around. And remember, you can’t

have a good day with a bad attitude, and

you can’t have a bad day with a good

attitude.”

Ruby Hall Internship Program Supervisor

“Be you, be sure you know what it is

you really want to do and do not accept

less than what your heart tells you in

all you do. Take time to stop and really

consider what is important and never

let go of these things.”

Diana (Pilling) van Woerkom Managing Director
