💻Remote Internship Program with ⭐Start Me Up⭐

Start Me Up careers connected me with Riteband a Swedish research-based company that is creating a new music marketplace and an app.

I enjoyed my time interning as a Junior Graphic designer with Riteband and it was a great match from the get-go! Although, I came in with previous experience in design I was still able to learn so much in such a short amount of time. During the internship, I created a series of icons, social media graphics and a presentation deck. I particularly loved the creative freedom that the role allowed and they really involved me within the company even though it was fully remote. I have also since continued to work for them as a freelancer, which has been great for my CV and portfolio!

The start me up remote internship program was a really great experience and one I would highly recommend. With all the restrictions due to COVID-19 it was an excellent way to get internship experience while unable to travel and one that has left me with lots of valuable skills especially when it comes to remote working. The activities run during your internship too provide an excellent avenue for self-growth and career discovery. Hearing talks from people all over the world doing different things and taking part in workshops to improve both your hard and soft skills was a real highlight. I would recommend this program to anyone interested in start-ups, remote working or simple looking for an internship and work experience down a less traditional avenue.

I participated in the Start Me Up remote internship program this past summer and worked with an organization based in Bali. I had such a great experience both with my internship program and with the Start Me Up seminars and support. I loved learning so many new skills and advancing my career in a new direction. If you are looking for an amazing opportunity to work partner with a great organization, get continued training from the program, and learn valuable skills for your career, this is for you!

Start Me Up is the best opportunity to take when taking steps to develop your career. The sessions that are held, the individual support and the opportunity to meet so many different people around are the world are just some of the reasons why I came back for a second year. Even though I wasn't able to go to Bali to complete my internship, the programme that was organised was still extremely engaging and interesting, and I was still able to make friends. I would recommend this program for anyone who wants to learn more about other non-traditional career paths, and also anyone who wants to travel whilst working on something.
