Technology & Software Engineering Internships in New York

Our skills workshop will help you prepare yourself for the challenges of your internship.

You’ll work closely with professional coaches and speakers as you undertake an array of exercises across several key skills; a typical session will help you boost your leadership, adaptability, and professional confidence.

You’ll leave this session ready to apply what you’ve learned to your internship – and beyond.

While in New York, you’ll have the chance to undertake a 1-to-1 career session with a qualified coach. This is your space to look at your career with a critical eye; consider the good and the bad as you reflect on your past and plan for the future.

You could take your appointment in the opening days of your internship; this is a good way of preparing yourself for the challenging weeks ahead. Or split your focus with a mid-term session; think about how far you’ve come, then set out any improvements you could make in your final weeks.

And if you’d prefer, you can use your session as a way of rounding your internship off. Look back at a completed internship as you discuss your achievements. Then think about what opportunities await you after leaving New York, and how best to take advantage of them.

You’ll also have access to tailored career advice and interview tips throughout your internship. Whether it’s CV or resume tips or advice on polishing a professional portfolio, we’ve got you covered.
