London Intern 26: Another Standout Work Experience Week

Another Intern work experience week has successfully wrapped for London Intern 26, marking the fourth consecutive year of delivering impactful, real-world experiences for young people.

This year’s programme brought together 6 businesses: Kantar, Efficio, Hays, Chain IQ, Kyndryl and Blackbullion and 45 students, culminating in an impressive 1,575 hours of workplace experience. Across the week, mentors and mentees worked side by side, giving students a genuine insight into professional environments while helping them build confidence, develop key employability skills, and broaden their understanding of future career pathways.

From hands-on tasks to meaningful conversations with industry professionals, the week was designed to immerse students in the realities of the workplace. The result was clear to see: increased confidence, stronger communication skills, and a deeper awareness of the opportunities available to them.

The programme concluded with a final celebration hosted at Kantar’s office, where all participants came together to reflect on their experiences over pizza. It was a valuable opportunity for students and mentors alike to share their highlights, recognise achievements, and celebrate the progress made throughout the week.
