Find an Internship in London

 

Hi everybody!

with the new year, most of you have new wishes and challenges that want to achieve. And one of the most important one is: get an internship and start your career in a professional environment   

Unfortunately the situation in most of European countries is not at its best and that's the reason why we start looking for an internship abroad, but where can we go?

End of year wishes

The big countdown has started. All the team of Come2England wish you a wonderful end-of-year celebration! We hope these holidays will make you feel full of energy to always live more English experiences!

Business English workshop: a concrete help with your international career.

A few months ago we organized a company training to help our team in refreshing their knowledge of Business Etiquette rules.

Kirsten, Come2England English teacher, gave us an intensive course explaining us the best tricks regarding professional communication focusing on the difficulties you might find when the language is not your mother tongue.

Knowing Kirsten we knew that it would turn out to be a useful and entertaining experience, but we couldn’t imagine how truth it was!

We were so satisfied with this workshop that we decided not only to include it as essential part of the Internship Package; but also to provide this service to all those young professionals who think they need a help with the formal language in an office environment.

“The most interesting, useful and funny way to learn Business Etiquette” that’s the common feedback our students gave us about the workshop.

Among them we have two girls who realized their internships in two different charities, Andrea (remember her from the architecture studio?), Leonardo -graphic designer in HWCD- and Jose, a Spanish boy who is looking for an internship in a renewable energies company.

They all gave us enthusiastic evaluations about the workshop saying that it was a very useful tool to integrate their previous professional knowledge and an essential part to prepare their presentation in a foreign company.

A necessary incentive to provide more confidence in an international and professional environment, this workshop wouldn't be so successful without Kirsten who is conquering our students with her friendly and funny attitude.

This is how Kirsten describes the workshop:

" Of course you know how to write an email or answer the phone. But do you know how to do this in a professional manner here in England and in English?

In this workshop you will learn how to be professional and efficient in an office environment. You will be confident to introduce people to each other in the correct way, deal efficiently with customers over the phone, write professional emails and letters and get to know the dos and don’ts in the office. This workshop is to get you into gear in a dynamic and fun way so that you can make the most of your internship. "


So what are you waiting for?

Keep calm and learn Business Etiquette with us!

PROFESSIONAL INTERNSHIP AS AN ARCHITECT, GRAPHIC DESIGNER...

A VERY “CONSTRUCTIVE” INTERNSHIP

The story that we want to tell you today is about three young Galician girls who have obtained a internship in a prestigious international architecture studio in London, HWCD. 

About the result of the internship…, the picture talks by itself, does it? 

Though, we want to tell you a little bit more about the London adventure of these three girls. 

Raquel (receptionist), Andrea (graphic designer) and Maria (architect), obtained the scholarship Galeuropa offered by the Autonomous government of Galicia (Xunta de Galicia), to realize two months internship in a foreign company. 

They are just three examples of more than twenty students we have helped thanks to the information and confidence that the Autonomous government of Galicia and this students have given us.

While Raquel tried to find the right internship on her own, Andrea and Maria were advised to contact with our company, and they immediately decided to trust us.

Raquel's first internship did not turn out to be as productive as she was expecting, so she finally decided to come to our office, recommended by her colleagues, and in less than one week we organized the beginning of her internship in HWCD. 

After these two months designing and constructing their professional future, the three of them had tell us that they are very satisfied with the result, all the things they have learnt and the good environment that they felt in the office.

Thanks to Come2England, Maria - after demonstrating her professional skills – is now moving indefinitely to London as part of the studio team. 

Congratulations Maria! We are glad we have been the first step of this ascent towards your dream job in London.

Dear reader, even you can find your ideal internship and get ready to show how capable you are to catch the international job of your dreams! 

Come2England is here to help you in everything that you need.  ;)
