Internship Program
At Inspiring Scientists, we pride ourselves on mentoring aspiring professionals by connecting them with experienced professionals worldwide. ISC serves as a bridge between academic learning and practical application, providing mutual benefits. Some of our roles and responsibilities are but not limited to:
​
· Providing learning opportunities – we provide exposure to real-world projects by offering our interns hands-on experience through real projects that are relevant to their field of study or add to their ambitions. Interns also gain assistance in hard skills (technical, industry-specific) and soft skills (communication, teamwork, problem–solving).
​
· Mentorship and Guidance – By assigning mentors, Interns are paired with experienced employees who can guide them, offer feedback, answer questions, and provide regular check-ins through scheduled meetings to discuss progress, challenges, and learning outcomes.
​
· Providing a structured program – establish clear goals and expectations for the internship. We provide a clear and concise onboarding process with a thorough orientation to help interns understand the company culture, policies, and workflow. All training sessions are conducted remotely but interns are coached into the engagement process to equip them with proper tools and knowledge.
​
· Networking Opportunities – Interns are encouraged to participate in team integration and any other social event engagement to build connections. They can interact with company leaders and professionals from different departments.
​
· Potential Recruitment – Our internship programs are structured to help interns with good recommendations providing a Talent Pipeline for future recruitment by companies. The company prides itself on projects relatable to target communities, thus allowing interns to relate academic work with real-time experience.
​
· Fair Compensation and Benefits – The company intends to offer fair compensation which can be in the form of stipends, salaries, or other benefits such as ensuring a safe, inclusive, and supportive work environment.
​
· Feedback mechanism – we continuously gather feedback from both interns and mentors through exit interviews to help improve our internship program. The main aim of the exit interviews is to understand the intern’s experience and areas for enhancement.
​
· Ethical and Legal Compliance – we adhere to labour laws and regulations regarding internships, and compliance with minimum wage laws, work, hours, and other relevant statutes within the UK. We also ensure that equal opportunity is maintained without discrimination based on race, gender, or other factors. But choose our interns based on the relevance of the project in question and how best this benefits them and their prospective profession.
· Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) – we aim to engage our interns in community research mostly by remote access as part of professional development within the community.
​
By fulfilling these responsibilities, we, not only help our interns gain valuable experience and skills but also enhance their talent pool, while fostering innovation, and contributing positively to the professional community.
