FAREWELL FROM THE 2024 SUMMER MARKETING INTERNS!

As we conclude our enriching and innovative 10-week internship with Skillsoft, we find ourselves reflecting on the achievements and growth opportunities it has afforded us. This journey has enabled us to expand our professional networks, enhance our repertoire of skills and competencies, and deepen our understanding of the industry, among many other invaluable experiences.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to the managers, mentors, onboarding buddies, fellow interns, team members, and those we did not have the pleasure of working directly with. Your support, guidance, and dedication have been instrumental in making this a truly enlightening summer.

To underscore the profound impact this internship has had on our professional and personal development, we would like to highlight some key takeaways from our time here:

• Networking: The value of establishing and fostering professional networks across the organization cannot be overstated. This not only creates a web of internal resources but also provides external opportunities that can advance careers.
• Adaptability and Resilience: In a fast-paced work environment, adaptability and resilience are key. Welcoming change and bouncing back from challenges provide real-world experience in managing transitions and contributing during uncertain times.
• Collaboration: Collaborating with cross-functional teams and leveraging diverse talents to achieve shared project goals is crucial for organizational success. To develop cutting-edge solutions, unique perspectives must be represented.
• AI Literacy: Understanding and integrating AI into marketing strategies is essential to stay innovative and competitive in the dynamic market. It is vital to remain informed on the latest trends and business use cases.
• Continuous Learning: To achieve sustainable progress, it is important to continuously add to your skill set. If you don’t know something, be proactive and take advantage of available resources to fill that gap.
• Internal Support: Skillsoft’s comprehensive learning resources were a pivotal asset to our growth, enhancing both technical skills and leadership capabilities. Encouraged to use the Percipio platform and showcase our accomplishments, we were able to strike a healthy balance between our professional responsibilities and ongoing education.

Skillsoft will forever be an integral part of our journey, and we are profoundly grateful for the solid foundation and stepping stones it has provided us. We look forward to applying our newfound knowledge across various environments while remaining connected to our Skillsoft team members.
