Here's how to celebrate them: 1️⃣ Fun & Bonding: Organize a team-building activity like virtual trivia or a game day at the office. 2️⃣ Public Recognition: Shine a light on their achievements in meetings, newsletters, or social media posts. 3️⃣ Invest in their Future: Offer a free workshop related to their field or connect them with other industry professionals to help them advance their careers. 4️⃣ Say Thanks! A heartfelt note or personalized gift goes a long way. 5️⃣ Celebrate Together: Treat them to lunch or a casual get-together. How are you celebrating YOUR interns? #InternAppreciationDay #FutureLeaders

Gen Z Takes Over the Workplace Gen Z, born 1997-2012, often finished internships remotely. They missed side-by-side learning crucial for early career growth. With hybrid schedules and half-empty offices, many younger workers struggle to form genuine relationships. This generation needs more guidance on workplace norms. Gen Z wants meaning, mentorship, and purpose. They desire security and the chance to matter, and they're vocal about it. https://lnkd.in/g8sUdAYu

Diversity isn't a buzzword. It's the future of British business. We're not just talking about representation; we're talking about unlocking untapped potential, driving innovation, and building a workforce that truly reflects our society. ✨ Want to be part of this transformation?

Thank you to all of the employers and government organizations hosting summer interns, program participants, and mentees. We know that you are serving as a mentor, role model, nurturer, parental figure in some cases, career counselor, and most importantly, a listener. As you support our youth and young adults this summer, know that they may reach out to you for support throughout the year. In some instances, you may be their only support within reach. Whether you believe it or not, what you represent and who you are (even when you are still developing) is more of a witness to greatness than you think. Know that you are a model of success, a model of courage, and a model of encouragement to those learning in the summer employment programming spaces. Keep walking with your head high and be unapologetically committed to supporting each of them. They deserve our best and to know when even we have to reset. Allow them to see the real side of work, how culture strengthens relationships, and how leaders grow when they support every part of the organization. Let them see you.

Do you know of a rising college junior or senior? If so, please pass along this registration link for a valuable seminar later today.

They seem small at first, just a step—but they’re the spark that can change everything. I’ve seen it firsthand at The Interns Hub—timid students transforming into confident professionals. It’s about more than just learning skills; it’s about finding passion and purpose. Every project, every challenge, every mentor—they shape careers in ways textbooks never can. So let’s redefine how we see internships. Not as temporary positions, but as transformational journeys. Not as mere additions to a resume, but as pivotal experiences that mold the leaders of tomorrow. They’re journeys of growth, discovery, and real opportunity. It’s time to empower every intern. Because when we invest in them, we invest in a better future for all. **𝘖𝘶𝘳 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘯𝘴 𝘥𝘢𝘺 𝘣𝘢𝘤𝘬𝘨𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥 𝘱𝘩𝘰𝘵𝘰 𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘥-𝘱𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘣𝘺 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 𝘰𝘸𝘯, 𝘔𝘢.
