I'm so grateful for the amazing support I received from I have a voice CIC and Association of British Insurers. I would definitely encourage those in my network who haven't thought about a career in policy making to do so!

We love working with brilliant partners like Labour Together to support young people to gain paid work experience in the world of politics and policymaking!
I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to have spent the past five weeks working as a Policy Research Intern at Labour Together! Having been my first real exposure to the corporate world, I would like to sincerely thank Laurel Boxall for being such an incredible line manager and for making the transition to the professional sphere so much smoother for me! Working within the Policy Team, I produced policy reports and briefings on key topics such as Live Facial Recognition and the increase of Violence against Women and Girls (VAWG). I was also able to assist on projects across different Labour Together departments which included election review and analysis! The highlight of this experience has undoubtably been the numerous events that I've been able to attend alongside my team, and simultaneously being able to meet such interesting and influential people within the field! 🏛️ We met both Joe Morris MP and Calvin Bailey MBE MP who very generously took time out of their busy schedules to each give us rigorous tours of the House of Commons, and in turn we were able to find out more about their work as newly-elected Labour MPs! 💼 We were invited to The Entrepreneurship Network and Rigby Group plc's reception for 'How Britain Can Back Breakthrough Businesses' at the House of Lords, which delved into the need for more innovation and growth within Britain. 👻 We visited Snap Inc. London for their breakfast and discussion panel in partnership with Childnet International which explored the conversation of online safety from a parent's perspective. 💻 We attended the Institute for Government's event on how government should use AI both effectively and responsibly - in particular within policy, communications, and the civil service. 🗣️ We attended Nesta's incredible 'Policy Live' event, which explored numerous policy solutions to some of the biggest challenges in the UK. In particular, I attended sessions on tackling child poverty, post-16 disadvantaged gaps in the education system, and practical approaches to improving NHS productivity. I would like to extend my sincere thanks to both Rebecca Deegan and Elisha Holt from the fantastic organisation I have a voice CIC, whose work on social mobility and accessibility I owe this experience to. Likewise, I'm looking forward to seeing the career progression and further work of my fantastic co-intern Danita Saunders and the wider Labour Together team!
