What might an internship look like?
What's it really like to do an internship at UIT? Our former intern Nayana It tells you:
During my internship at the UITweek I had a super fun and educational period. Not only did I get to work on one of the biggest student events in Utrecht, but I also got the chance to develop a new component myself. In the process, I was in contact with many different parties and worked with an enthusiastic team of students.
What I found so valuable:
- You expand your network tremendously and meet many new people.
- You get real hands-on experience in event organization.
- You may take on projects independently, but will always receive guidance as needed.
- You will discover how much fun it is to organize something by and for students.
For me, this was the first time I participated in organizing an induction week, and I learned an awful lot, both personally and professionally. Thanks to the committed guidance and the fine team, I was able to develop myself, take responsibility and actively contribute to various program elements.
The very best moment? When you stand on the podium, look out over all the participants and realize: we made this possible together! You never forget that feeling of pride. That is why I can recommend it to everyone: the UITweek is a great place to learn, gain experience and have fun.
