    This is what impact looks like. What we do isn’t just about internships — it’s about access, representation, and real change. One placement can shift a perspective, open a door, change a young person's life. This is how we change the face of British industry — one internship at a time. 💼✨

    Today, I attended an online session called Introduction to Man Group, hosted by Chris Pyper, Managing Director and Head of Business Management at Man Group, through 10,000 Black Interns. The session provided valuable insights into Man Group’s operations, investment strategies, and company culture. Chris Pyper’s perspective on leadership and business management was particularly insightful, shedding light on the dynamic nature of the asset management industry. It was a great opportunity to learn more about the firm and gain a deeper understanding of the skills required to succeed in the sector.

    Hi Network, I am thrilled to announce that I will be joining NHS England this summer as an Operations Intern. Searching for an internship was not an easy task, rejections strengthened my drive to push harder. I took onboard valuable feedback to enhance my skills, which helped me secure an internship. This opportunity will give me firsthand experience in how operational systems support public health while also allowing me to gain valuable insights from the team. I just want to extend a warm gratitude to the 10,000 Black Interns foundation for this opportunity. grateful and thankful for El Roi, the God who sees me🤍
