“The micro-internship programme has, once again, been a hugely beneficial experience for us. We tasked an intern researching an environmentally-friendly alternative for a widely-used textiles printing technique – and I am very pleased to say that it was great success. Working with our intern, Hermione, has been great: she is self-sufficient, hardworking, and proactive. A big thank you to her!”
“Our intern joined us in April 2023 and his brief was to help publicise and promote our pattern making app Elements Of Pattern through social media. In the short time he worked with us our intern proved to be a great asset fulfilling the task in hand with efficiency, generating an encouraging amount of interest in the project and collecting a number of followers on social media.”
“As an alumni of the University of Plymouth I have been invited to present at an Earth Sciences/sustainability panel a few times. A student who attended the 2021 event, successfully applied and joined the Environment Agency in December 2022, three months after graduating. The Environment Officer role was advertised on the University’s internal jobs board which can be accessed by students and alumni for career opportunities. He becomes the 5th Environment Officer in Cornwall alone to graduate from university in the past six years, which says a lot for the courses and opportunities the University offer.”
“The Boost event provides an opportunity to work with others in developing and proposing a solution to a real business challenge. Our subject matter experts will provide some great guidance around some of the key topics such as marketing, project management and finance, which will impact your decision making; skills you will also need as you move into the employment market, whatever your background. You will have the chance to collaborate in a team and use and develop your creative skills! It’s a lively and fun day and provides some great networking opportunities with some of Babcock’s SME’s.”
