Great experience

I applied for Capital Placement’s London program this summer for a marketing and PR internship after my original internship plans in the US fell through at the last minute. After explaining my situation to them, the staff at Capital Placement was extremely helpful and they offered to fast track my application and within a few days of me applying, they got back to me with a list firms and the roles.

Program and price

I found the CP program included more things than other internship program providers. I found it to offer good value for money, especially with the visa sponsorship and application fee included in the program price, this alone can cost over $1000. They have clearly put a lot of thought and effort into the programme because the program includes things like bedding, cutlery and cookware (all brand new).

Accommodation

The accommodation offered by CP is pretty central with a local “high street” nearby with plenty of bars and café’s and the tube station being only 2-minute walks away. The flat I stayed in had its own bathroom in the room and 3 other bedrooms. There was a shared kitchen/ living space, which was great to catch up with other interns in the evenings.

The accommodation also has a well-equipped gym, library (great when you need to work from home) and games room onsite so there was always something to do if the weather is not great!

Company

I worked with a great team at a funded startup in Shoreditch. Even before I started, I knew I was going to have a great time because the founder arranged a conference call where they took the time to understand what I was trying to get out of the internship and where my skills can be used best. From the amount of effort they put in even before I arrived, I knew that the company genuinely cared about my experience there. My main duty was to help the marketing team plan and execute marketing campaigns and customer acquisition.

Overall

I had a great experience with Capital Placement and I would thoroughly recommend it to others who are looking to intern in Europe.
