The onsite and local benefits vary at sites outside of Swindon.
Intern Committees
Within this network the interns have set up a number of different committees which you can become a part of.
The Sports and Social committee (SAS) has set up a variety of social events and different sports teams including netball and football. These events include social nights, meals and even weekends away to socialize within the intern community. The sporting clubs also provide interns the chance to participate in the annual corporate games, a sporting competition across some of the biggest global companies.
The Publishing committee keeps the interns up-to- date with news and events by creating a bi-weekly newsblast that interns contribute to. They also create memorabilia, such as year books and leavers hoodies for the Interns to remember what great times they had during their placement.
The Charity committee set up events like quizzes and film nights, the proceeds of which go to a charity chosen by the interns. This is another great way to socialise with other interns as well as raising money for a good cause.
The Inspire committee was set up to encourage students into STEM by running STEM related activities for local schools. This gives interns the opportunity to manage events external to their core responsibilities and develop skills they may not find in their job role. Interns find this a fun way of bringing volunteering into the intern community and beyond.
Handover Period
At the start of your internship, the current intern in your role will walk you through your responsibilities as an intern. This is dedicated training for you during your first weeks at the company to make your transition into work easier.
The current intern will also help you build your network, answer any questions and integrate you into your position.
This period also contains several social events and networking activities to ensure you have the best start to your placement, including a handover ball and beach party.
