Project Management Internship Review

I really liked my internship in Language Connect. The work in the office is developped in a multicultural and friendly environment and the internship is really helpful for people who want to launch a career in the translation industry.

From the very beginning every single project manager ensures that you feel part of the team. Interns receive continuous training, feedback and help from their mentors and other members of the team.

In Language Connect every intern is supported and guided by a mentor. In my case, my mentor always kept an eye on me and made sure that I received the appropriate training. She answered to every single one of my questions with a smile and a very supportive attitude. I honestly think I could not have had a better supervisor.

Project management is a job that can keep you very busy sometimes. You can feel stressed at some point, but you can easily get used to it as time goes by.

As interns acquire experience in managing projects, they are progressively given more responsibility and they can even be in charge of dealing with corporate clients.

When you study translation and interpreting at unversity you are usually taught linguistic and translation skills. However, at university you do not learn how project management skills nor you acquire industry expertise, as you do in Language Connect. In this sense, the skilles learnt in Language Connect complement very well the ones you learn at university.

The atmosphere in the office is just amazing. All the people is very friendly and the company usually organises parties, celebrations and social events in order to create a real team. Everybody is always willing to help and has a can-do attitude.

The intership is very well organised. As time goes by, you are progressively given more advanced training on different topics, therefore you learn little by little but on a continuous basis.

The company is always organising training seminars and sessions where interns are given ipmportant information about the essential tasks performed.

Many interns that start working in the company are usually hired on a permanent basis as project executives. There are many future employment prospects, that is why Language Connect internships are highly recommended for young graduates.

London is very expensive in almost every sense. However, this internship is very well paid as compared to other translation agencies, which helps you can socialise and have fun in London!

The office is situated in the centre of London. Therefore, there are many clubs and pubs in the sorrounding area where you can go and have some beers with your coleagues after work!

Yes, the company is always looking for getting employees involved in outside activities with charities, universities, schools, etc. and interns are always encouraged to join!
