Internships help you understand what a career path "could look like." I know several who reference internships as how they figured out their current path was not the right one! They accordingly changed course and were thankful for the knowledge they had gained. I also know several who found internships to help them focus on the aspects of their studies they wanted to pursue passionately, and many found great success. Organizations are exposed to new talent, ideas, and methods and can "try before buying." In the past, apprenticeships and internships seemed to be more common. I suggest we return as it's good practice, promotes growth, and enables many to get into the game! I always support internship programs and interns. What about you and your organization?

This summer, I had the incredible opportunity to work as a Marketing and Business Development Intern at Cookbash, which has officially launched! 🎉 Cookbash is a one-of-a-kind platform that lets users create “bashes” and discover dishes tailored to their dietary preferences, featuring recipes from top chefs. It’s designed to make hosting and meal planning easier and more enjoyable while taking everyones dietary preferences and restrictions into account. During my internship, I contributed in various ways: Data Optimization: Managed and enhanced the recipe database by organizing and maintaining a diverse collection of recipes, ensuring accuracy and ease of use for our users. Collaboration & Problem Solving: Partnered with the development team to address data issues, improving the overall user experience. Strategic Outreach: Conducted in-depth research on potential collaborations and target audiences to support Cookbash’s growth.

Main content of the internship 2. What I gained the most 3. My understanding of Standard Foods before and after the internship 4. Suggestions for the company from an ESG perspective 🚘On the way to the presentation, I was in the car with our supervisor. He shared his thoughts on interns with me. He said, "Your opinions are not whimsical; everything you share or propose helps us think outside the box. We've been here for 8 years or more, and things might start to feel routine. However, times have changed, and there are always improvements to be made. We need your fresh perspective! Your opinions are valuable." He gently added, "I know you might want some time to review the presentation. Let’s listen to some study music." I was so moved by his words. 🤩 #standardfood #internship #public_speaking #headquarters

It was during my first internship at Snackible, where I learnt about my passion. Snackible was a budding venture in the world of healthy snacking when I joined them as a Business Development Associate intern.  Over the course of six months, I had the incredible opportunity to immerse myself in the art of client acquisition and retention.  My role involved convincing clients to try Snackible's products and purchase their assorted hampers.  Little did I know that I would be working with renowned brands there, securing orders for 200-400 hampers filled with nutritious snacks for their employees or festive occasions.  It was an incredible experience to witness the positive impact of our offerings on the well-being of these corporate communities.Beyond just sales, I gained invaluable insights into the importance of exceptional customer service.  From onboarding clients to managing their needs and delivering a seamless experience, I learned the intricacies of cultivating long-lasting relationships with consumers. Snackible taught me the fundamentals of business development, instilling in me an appreciation for the food industry that has only grown stronger over time.  It was during this internship that I discovered my true passion for the world of food and the impact it can have on people's lives. Although I have since pursued other internships with companies like McCain, my experience at Snackible remains the most cherished and formative of them all. It was here that I learned the art of client acquisition, the value of customer service, and the joy of working in an industry that nourishes both body and soul. My top 3 learnings from this internship, that might help you also are- 1. Client acquisition and retention strategies. 2. Importance of customer service for building lasting customer relationships.  3. Discovering my passion for the food industry and its impact on people's well-being. Which was your first internship and what did it teach you? I’d love to hear about it. #founder #internship #healthylifestyle #food
