By effectively utilizing summer interns' skills and enthusiasm, you can achieve your campaign goals more effectively:

If your organisation hasn't yet pledged to offer internships via The 10,000 Interns Foundation - I'd like to ask why not? Access to opportunities and representation continues to be critical. Firms, companies and organisations have until Friday 20 October 2023 to sign up to offering internships via the 10,000 Black Interns programme. Having played a key role in launching the programme for one of my legal clients Taylor Wessing UK in 2022, I know first-hand how this programme has continued to attract, empower and also retain talented professionals in the early stages of their career. Over the last couple of years, I've also had the chance to get to know many of the organising and inspiring team at The 10,000 Interns Foundation including Julie Quist-Therson LLM Dip Trans. | Nana Campbell and Rebecca Achieng Ajulu-Bushell. Every, yes every, single conversation I have had with them and during the professional development sessions I ran for their team and their applicants has been inspiring. The 10,000 Interns Foundation is making a true impact. The 10,000 Interns Foundation collaborates with employers across so many different sectors and industries. The 10,000 Interns Foundation is helping organisations and managers to access talent from diverse backgrounds. The 10,000 Interns Foundation is helping individuals build their careers, skills and experience at vital points in their early careers. The The 10,000 Interns programmes, whether it's 10,000 Able Interns or 10,000 Black Interns are literally life-changing for individuals. I am so proud to see many of my Collective Insight client organisations participating in the programmes organised by the 10,000 Interns Foundation. Learn more below and although I don't like to promote FOMO (fear of missing out), I encourage you to flag to your HR, graduate or diversity and inclusion team if you don't think your organisation is already a part of this change driven by the 10,000 Interns Foundation.

If you are new to the profession - and starting a summer internship - you are more tuned into the business press. Two weeks ago, the world saw rate cuts in the US as a 2025 affair. Fast forward to today - and with a bit more data – the world sees at least some cuts in 2024. Feel like conventional wisdom is a puppy chasing a forecasting ball around the yard? Therein lies the advantage of attending our June Macro Summit for Summer Interns. Establish an intellectual framework early in your career. Let the rest of the investment profession chase frisbees.
