Internship Testimonials

“Getting the internship gave me a real confidence boost. It allowed me to learn a lot of relevant skills, and I was able to help with lots of different aspects of the festival giving me an opportunity to get a broad understanding of many different roles. As a result, I had lots of experience to demonstrate in job interviews which I think definitely got me my current position as Events Executive for Hilton Glasgow.”

"I am taking away a wealth of new skills and knowledge from my internship, which has enabled me to build a portfolio of work from now on to show potential employers looking for good experience within this type of industry. I have now accepted a 6-month part-time contract with McSherry Halliday where I will be continuing my work on the marketing and business development side of things. I am extremely happy that I applied for this role and got what I did out of it. I’m excited to carry on working at McSherry Halliday and looking forward to what the future holds."

"I learned a lot about how the marketing department works and its importance to a business and gained insight into how to apply the theoretical knowledge I gained in university to real problems that arise in this field. I was able to see results come from the work I was doing, which was really rewarding. SpaceandPeople has offered me a permanent contract, so my longer-term employability has definitely benefitted from this internship. I’m really grateful to both GCU and SpaceandPeople for this opportunity and think the internship was very useful and successful for me."
