Thinking about an internship for next summer? Here are a few reasons why internships can be beneficial to help jump start your career! 🔹 Provide an opportunity to network with likeminded people. 🔹 Help figure out your true passion. 🔹 Gain experience and exposure to make a smooth transition into your role when hired. 🔹 Provide new skills and opportunities that you may not receive otherwise. 🔹 Gain hands-on experience in an industry that interests you before you progress further into your educational path.

🎉I have come to the close of my internship at Trimac Transportation! Here are three takeaways I learned along the way. 1. Embracing Mistakes as Stepping Stone: Eventually mistakes happen the best of us, and too often we view these as setbacks instead of opportunities for growth. Throughout my internship, I encountered challenges that pushed me beyond my comfort zone. These situations, often accompanied by mistakes, turned out to be stepping stones toward self-improvement. 2. Adapt, adapt, adapt: Whether it was collaborating with new teams, or immersing myself in complex data modelling, being open to change and remaining flexible were essential in navigating diverse challenges. 3. Learning as a Lifelong Pursuit: Plunging myself into unfamiliar territories was a recurring theme during my internship. This led me to learn new processes, software, and practices in order to drive innovation. Ultimately, the pursuit of knowledge doesn’t end with a degree: there are opportunities to learn everywhere. I want to express my gratitude to the Trimac Team, who provided me with an incredible learning experience throughout my internship journey. Working with such a talented and supportive group of professionals has been truly inspiring. (And also for the amazing lego set!) As I transition from this internship into the next phase of my career, I also want to extend my appreciation to all my colleagues, Aaron Kwong, Sehar Alwani, Tram Le, and Robbert McCaig who made each day at Trimac enjoyable and rewarding.

It's winter-time, but thinking about hot summer days will absolutely make us feel better! 😎🌴 Summers are for vacation, sunny walks, hangouts… But, to some students, summers are for personal and professional growth. That’s why, every summer Pivara Skopje and Coca Cola HBC come together to organize Coke Summership, an internship business summer boot camp that help students experience the business side of Pivara Skopje firsthand. With this in mind, we reintroduced the internship program in a more youthful and colorful light, embracing both Coca Cola and Gen-Z’s spirit.

What can intern roles bring to the workplace? A unique voice that the rest of your organisation may not have heard already. Given that interns are usually starting out their career they see the world from a different perspective and can bring fresh ideas, and new ways of looking at existing processes and procedures. With interns usually being a younger cohort they are likely to be digital natives (a person who is very familiar with digital technology, computers, etc. because they have grown up with them). Meaning that interns that are now entering the workplace with a high level of digital skills this can have many benefits. From a digital marketing perspective, they may know what works on socials better than most, especially on #TikTok. They may have good editing skills and have a high knowledge of brand aesthetics that work. So ask away, you never know what you might learn. I've no doubt that Heather is going to bring so much to High Tide and so glad that they are making this a meaningful experience for her. #ProudSisterMoment #Interns

Make no mistake - how you treat your employees is a brand play. Let me explain. I was already aware of Once Upon a Farm, but this honest praise for a dedicated intern planted a seed in my mind (as an outsider completely unaffiliated with the company) that this is a brand with genuine integrity behind it. They don't seem to be doing it for likes, or sales, or web traffic. There are not likely KPIs set against it, no data reports will be pulled to measure it's effectiveness, but that doesn't mean it's not a smart marketing move. It effects how we see and feel about them. Which effects purchasing intent. Not everything is measured in CTRs and ROAS, folks.
