On 21st October, the multinational corporation Tata is coming to King’s to talk about their brand-new global internship programme!
The Tata Group are offering 40 places on diverse and exciting projects based in Tata’s multiple companies in India. The projects will run for 4-8 weeks and Tata is covering flights, accommodation and salary for the duration of the projects. Students from any discipline are encouraged to apply – the only requirement is that you are due to graduate in 2021 or later. As a leading global institution, King’s is one of only a handful of partner universities in the UK – so take advantage of this exclusive opportunity!
The thought of spending one or two months abroad might be equally thrilling and nerve-wracking, so we’ve collected five top benefits of considering interning abroad – and why you should sign up for the Tata Global Internship Programme Briefing.
- Build business skills in a real-world context
Whether you love academia or find your essays a bit of a chore, the transition to working life after graduation can be challenging. Completing an internship whilst you study will give you a head start on negotiating this change. Tata’s internship programme is structured to mentor and support you to grow in the working environment. So get ahead of the curve and start to develop real-world experience and business knowledge within an exciting and expanding global company.
- Gain experience in an emerging economy
Going global is a unique way of developing in-depth knowledge about business direction across the world. Interning with Tata in India will give you a taste of business growth in one of the world’s most important emerging economies, putting you at the forefront of global change and giving you a unique understanding of the intricacies of negotiating work in a rapidly booming economy.
- Cultural immersion
Working abroad gives you the chance to develop as a global citizen, pushing you out of your comfort zone and in to greater global understanding. It may be tough, but you’ll draw on inner strength you didn’t know you had, enhancing your resilience and personal growth. Check out what previous students have said about interning in India with Tata here – be aware that these essays are from a previous internship scheme but whilst the work you’ll be doing is different, you’ll be just as immersed in life in India.
- Global networks
Physically expanding your horizons will introduce you to people from all walks of life. Once you graduate from the Tata programme, you’ll be an expert in networking with people across the world – in our increasingly interconnected world, this will give you prestigious experience and an ability to settle in wherever you are.
- Employability
These new and challenging experiences will prove your resilience, hard work and ability to adapt yourself to new experiences. Future employers love these skills and an internship abroad will make you stand out from the crowd, no matter what industry you are applying for.
