Internship and Social Events in London

Before coming on this trip I had no idea what to expect as I didn't know anyone and hadn't ever had a real office job before. Never once though was i worried that i wasn't going to enjoy my internship at my company. The Global Experiences team in London (Carmen Chamorro and Jen Mackin) did an incredible job of finding everyone the right internship in their specified career field. Throughout the preparation period heading into the trip they asked all of the right questions and were really inclined to find you the best possible internship. As a result, as soon as i got to my internship i felt welcome and needed. Carmen and Jen were also always a quick email away from helping you with any questions you had about your internship and always had your back if something were to go wrong.

As for the social events hosted by GE, i would recommend going to as many of them as possible. They are a great way to meet the other people in your program, get closer to your supervisors, and network with people from around the world. Jen and Carmen also made them incredibly fun and enjoyable and were inclusive of everyone. Each social event was different and allowed you to truly experience the city you were in as well as its surrounding areas.

Overall, I would give the internship and social events aspect of GE a 10/10! Highly recommended for everyone!
