...A shell of a person walking aimlessly without a destination in mind; that person was me. My entire life up until WJMC was generic and lacked spontaneity. When I began the application process, to be quite honest, I was intimidated. I reverted to a dark time in my life when I believed I was insignificant. What makes me special? Why would anyone choose me to be an intern? But then I stopped myself realizing that out of everyone applying, there is only one me. At the conference, everyone had their own unique experience that was life changing. Before WJMC, I didn't know what I wanted out of life. I met lifelong friends, amazing mentors and I became the person I’ve always dreamed of becoming. "To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people...

...Chosen Article: Bank intern who died after 'working for 72 hours' felt pressure to excel. Written by Victoria Ward & Anna Hill, (2013). An intern who died after allegedly working for 72 hours straight at a leading Citybank had admitted that he felt “pressurised” to succeed. Moritz Erhardt, 21, was found dead as he neared the end of a gruelling seven-week placement with the Bank of America Merrill Lynch's (BAML) investment bank division. He collapsed in the shower in his student flat in East London amid claims that he had worked throughout the night eight times in two weeks in a bid to impress company bosses, returning home at 6am on three consecutive days. It has been claimed he suffered an epileptic fit. In an online profile, Mr Erhardt, from Germany, revealed that he had developed a tendency to be “over ambitious” at an early age. He said: “I have grown up in a family that expected me, in whatever respect, to excel in life. By implication, I felt somehow pressurised. However, I did not intend to belie my parents’ expectations. “Therefore, I have become a highly competitive and ambitious nature from early on.” Members of internet message boards used by City staff claimed that other interns had been ordered not to discuss Mr Erhardt’s death. One poster wrote: “One of the best interns in IBD BAML — 3 all nighters — didn’t turn up, colleagues went to find him.” Another claimed that someone who worked on the same floor as Mr Erhardt had told him: “He was...

...at Norton. My first week consisted of tours of the various laboratories at Norton and affiliate hospitals, daily meetings with my preceptor to get a profound understanding of my project, and information about the internship program. I have been given different opportunities to take part in lab projects but my main project deals with standardization. Currently, Norton has approximately 110 physician practices. Nearly 80 of these facilities perform in-house lab testing. My project will deal with collecting data on the types of tests each office conducts in house, weekly volume, which vendor is used, and what analyzers are located in the facilities. Once the spreadsheet is compiled, a team of laboratory experts and myself will go through the tests to set criteria on which test is allowed to be done in-house and which tests need to be sent to the CPA lab or the Ancillary Lab. From this project, I will be able to determine the expenses and reimbursement rates to help vet the test menu. The intern program also consists of weekly “Coffee Clutches”. This one-hour sessions gives us the chance to meet and mingle with Norton Administrators. The first week, we met the Rev. Ron Oliver. He talked a great deal about work-life balance and how to embrace opportunities. The next week, we met Al Cornish, the Chief Learning Officer. During this meeting, we learned about the importance of learning and the free benefits to employees by Norton University. Through this past month, my favorite...

...which work experience has come to the fore as an approach to enhancing employability by interrogating recent research and policy related to this agenda. Employability is presented as an on-going debate that cannot be viewed as a finite entity but must move and develop with the market, society and the global situation. In addition the paper closely examines a graduate internship programme in a university in North East England. Comparing and contrasting findings from this scheme, with other examples of experiential learning through work experience, provides some evidence to suggest the value of internships and furthermore supports some formative ideas about how internships might be developed to best serve those taking part in them: interns; employers and universities. Introduction Higher education is said to develop the whole person and an expected consequence of this is that graduates will be highly sought after as employees. However, the current situation globally is that many new graduates are underemployed and higher education institutions are...

...h2. Virtual Interns can be LGBTQ! Even though the world is progressing slowly, not everyone understands or knows how to handle LGBTQ issues in their business. Perhaps you have a job where queer topics will be the main focus. Maybe you just feel like having a member of the team who is LGBTQ will keep your team diverse. There’s the chance you might just be curious and need a little persuasion, and that's okay! It starts with asking "What would an LGBTQ virtual intern bring not only to me but my company?" h2.

...Co-op Education employer Research Report AsiaPacific Journal of Cooperative Education ca edu tor stu den t Assessing the Contribution of Internship in Developing Australian Tourism and Hospitality Students’ Management Competencies Maree Walo School of Tourism and Hospitality Management, Southern Cross University, PO Box 157 Lismore, NSW, Australia Received 24 September 2001; accepted 8 October 2001 This study assessed students’ perceptions of their level of management competence, before and after the internship component of their degree programme. A self-assessment instrument utilising the management competencies within the Competing Values Framework (Quinn, Faerman, Thompson, & McGrath, 1990) was used for the empirical stages of the study. The key findings of this research imply that the internship programme has proved effective in contributing towards the development of management competencies for this cohort of students. The study provides valuable insight into the relationship between internship and the development of students’ management competencies and highlights the need for further research in this area (Asia-Pacific Journal of Cooperative Education 2001 2(2), 12-28). Keywords: assessment; tourism and hospitality; management competencies I n order to meet the future demands for appropriately skilled managers and workers, ongoing collaboration and consultation with industry is required to ensure the goals of all primary stakeholders - students...

...to Industrial Training UBFF3376 Industrial Training is a subject compulsory for all final year students. The objective of this subject is to expose students to the real working environment, preparing them for their future career, and to put the theory into the test/ practical use. Students will gain a better understanding towards the real working life so that they would know the dos and don’ts to avoid any culture shock. It also helps us to improve our communication skills, getting out of our comfort zone, from a University environment to the real working world as we need to socialize and work with people from different backgrounds, be it our colleagues, bosses even clients. Most importantly, it helps to instill the attitude needed, as company these days emphasize more on the right attitude instead of academic results. I started my internship at SWM Wealth Management Advisers Sdn. Bhd, an insurance company. I came to this company all by myself, not knowing what I would be facing, what was being installed ahead of me.
