"This project enabled me to interact directly with the system to understand its core functionalities. I was also able to identify bugs within the system and pinpoint areas for improvement." During her internship, Rosemary Godwin, a learner from The University of Salford who interned remotely at SUDEC, was challenged to analyze a complex system, identify its pain points, and reimagine its potential. From technical diagnostics to crafting a marketing strategy, she engaged with every layer of the project. Through this experience, she didn’t just gain skills—she developed the confidence to make meaningful contributions and see real outcomes from her ideas.

6 months at Infonancial Solutions 🎉 — how did that go by so fast? I joined Infonancial through the Virtual Internships program that offers the chance to work on real projects with real companies. And right from the start, Tucker Sholtes brought me a challenge: I’d be responsible for an area that didn’t yet exist — creating and leading digital content and strategy for the company. It was a confident (and risky) decision on his part — he didn’t know me or what I was capable of yet. But that trust made all the difference. I was new to the company, and the function was new too. So everything progressed gradually, in small but steady steps. Each milestone felt like a win — and I celebrated them all. At the end of January, I wrapped up my internship. I guess the work paid off, because I was invited to stay on — and officially stepped into the role of Digital Marketing Coordinator. The challenges still exist. I’m still learning a lot — about the market, the products, and the industry. But today, we’re actively shaping and organizing the digital marketing area — from content planning and LinkedIn strategy to our newsletter and much more. Happy to celebrate this milestone with you all! #MarketingJourney #DigitalStrategy #CareerUpdate

Internship interviews are often underestimated—yet they reveal more than just candidate readiness. They reflect how a company identifies and nurtures potential.

This latest piece explores a more intentional approach to interviewing early-career talent that moves beyond surface-level questions to uncover real indicators of growth, fit, and future contribution. If your team is building for the long term, this perspective might be worth considering. 📝 Read up here: https://lnkd.in/eUca7UdZ #EarlyTalent #InternshipPrograms #HiringForPotential #TalentPipelines #FutureReadyTeams #VirtualInternships
