Since launching in 2013, National Grid’s supported internship programme ‘EmployAbility - Let’s Work Together’ has welcomed over 100 young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND).🚀 With keeping transitioning from education to employment in mind, for young people with SEND, and their families/carers, this transition can feel overwhelming and challenging. Supported internships can be an ideal pathway to bridge this, with wins such as: 🌟 Young people growing confidence and gaining invaluable skills that employers want. 🌟 Businesses seeing levels of productivity improving as the levels of diverse thinking within teams increases. 🌟 An improvement in social mobility by increasing the number of people with learning disabilities in paid employment.

🌟 Confession of an Intern: The Struggle is Real!🌪️ Let's get real for a moment: Intern life isn't always sunshine and rainbows. From battling imposter syndrome to navigating office politics, feeling college ka FOMO every minute, and the self doubt creeping in every second -the struggle is real. But To all the fellow interns: Hang in there, stay caffeinated, and remember, we're in this together! 💼☕️ WE GOT THIS!! 💪🏻 #InternConfessions #internshipstruggles #TeamIntern #internship

With my daughter Anna starting a summer internship at Brillect this week, I'm reminded of a quote that came across my computer a few weeks ago, "Be the person you needed when you were younger."  In the next few weeks, college-age interns will be starting in offices everywhere. What if we all went beyond the basic, 'Hello, nice to meet you," to honestly share those pieces of advice or insight that would have made a difference when we were starting out? It doesn't have to be big to be impactful. Schedule a lunch with them, take the time to meet with them, and encourage them to ask questions. No matter our role, we all have something to offer those just starting their careers. I'd love to hear from others with ideas or advice on how to pay it forward in the coming days and weeks. What advice made a difference in your career? What have you done to encourage or support an intern or young professional at your office? #mentorship #internships #careerdevelopment #payitforward

⏰ Just in time for back to school... now, is an ideal time for nonprofits and fundraising orgs to take a closer look at your internship offerings. Internships are a valuable way of "closing the gap" between nonprofits' talent needs and young professionals' desire for hands-on experience. I have long been a champion of internships and mentorships for students and junior staff—introducing people to the profession who may have never considered fundraising as a career. Take a look at these 14 tips from nonprofit pros (and me!) from the Forbes Nonprofit Council 👉 https://lnkd.in/dU59h89b And, if you'd like to learn more about an Advancement Fellows model I've created to cultivate homegrown talent, DM me! #nonprofitmanagement #internships #fundraisingtalent

Summer at the Network usually starts off with our Annual Intern Virtual Brown Bag Lunch with the boss. 🤣 And what a pleasure it was to welcome our new intern class, another fantastic group of talented individuals and rising star professionals. 🌟 It's amazing to see students joining us from a wide range of colleges, from Princeton to Loyal University, some having just graduated, and others pursuing law degrees. Their diverse backgrounds and perspectives bring a breath of fresh air into our organization, which we believe is critical to helping us keep the Network responsive to the next generation of talent. These bright, engaging individuals have truly impressed me with their insightful questions and enthusiasm. One standout moment was when one of the interns asked, "What surprised you most about the industry, and what is something you never thought you would learn when you created this organization?" It made me reflect on the incredible journey we've had and the ever-evolving nature of our field, which we all agreed keeps us engaged, challenged and passionate about offshore wind. Over the years, our internship program has grown significantly, becoming more and more competitive. This is a direct reflection of the increasing interest in offshore wind, courses being offered in colleges and exposure to the industry at younger ages. What's particularly exciting is how well-prepared they are. These interns come with a solid understanding of the industry, allowing us to dive straight into more advanced discussions and put them to work on some complex projects. Are you seeing similar trends with your internship program? Are there other insights you want to share? Or just brag about your new summer talent? We would love to hear from you and please do tell us about the summer students lending their intellect and time to our industry. Here's to the NextWave of industry professionals and the continued growth of all of our internship programs! #InternshipProgram #FutureLeaders #CareerDevelopment #OffshoreWind
