Life changing

I was so blessed to get to experience a summer internship in London through GE. From day to day we were provided support from all ground staff and given advice if needed. I am a very independent person and loved that could have my independence while still having support when needed. I could experience London the way I wanted to but still have the social events to join as a group and make life long friends. Throught the experience the GE staff was sure to check with us to make sure we were happy and provided help and advice when needed. They listened to our input and used it to make changes as needed.

For social events we were given a wide range of choices between weekend day trips to areas we wouldn't have been able to go to otherwise, walking tours of historical events and landmarks, nights out to the hot spots in London, high tea, and shows or musicals. The events were always optional therefor allowing you to target your interests. We were also provided with professional development which in turn allowed me to get hired back in the states. I was taught how to directly apply all that I was doing and learning to the professional world. As a recent graduate this was enormously helpful.

As far as the internships themselves I was extremely impressed with the placements and the ability of the GE staff to ensure we were happy by both checking with us and our placement. They were very specific to each of our needs.
