I came to the SCC UK not really knowing what I wanted to do after my degree, and I left with a much clearer answer. The best part was the people. Getting to know the network properly, from small startups to some of the largest Swedish companies in the UK, is the fastest way I can imagine to learn what different industries actually look like from the inside. Being part of the events was a highlight too, and something I doubt I would have had the chance to do anywhere else this early on. If you’re at the point where you’re still figuring out your direction, this is a very good place to do it.
"My internship at the SCC UK was an exciting whirlwind from the moment I started! Working in the membership and community team, I was able to engage with a vast variety of stakeholders and clients when looking after the members and prospects of SCC UK. In doing so, I gained close hand knowledge of a range of industries. I was given access to otherwise exclusive events which was an incredible opportunity for someone starting out in their career. My 6 months at the Chamber were invaluable in giving me insight to businesses and taught me key skills for an international workplace."
"An internship at the Swedish Chamber of Commerce for the UK offers a truly enriching experience, allowing growth and refinement of a broad set of professional skills. The fast-paced and collaborative environment challenges you to think critically, adapt quickly, and remain mindful of how your decisions affect those around you. It’s a workplace that rewards initiative, promotes conscientiousness, offers daily opportunities to develop and apply problem-solving skills, and fosters a strong sense of shared responsibility. Best of all, we have a lot of fun along the way! For anyone looking to build a versatile professional toolkit in a dynamic and internationally focused setting, the Chamber offers an excellent platform."
"From the moment I started at the Chamber, no two days have been the same. I am given hands-on experience throughout the internship, with the Chamber offering a unique approach to internships in which my input is appreciated, and voice uplifted – no matter the event! As Events are built on connections, I have rapidly developed broad inter-personal relations through pre-event planning, and networking during events. It is truly rewarding to watch an Event that you have helped to organise come to life in real-time. Through this, the Chamber offers something that can never be taught in a university lecture hall!"
"Holding an internship position at the Chamber is a perfect first step of your international career. During my time at the Chamber, I learned how to understand the British business culture, but also the importance of building strong Swedish-British business relationships. Also, you will get the invaluable opportunity to strengthen your network and gain both work- and life related lessons. I am forever grateful for my six months at the Chamber."
"During my time as a Membership and External Relations Intern at the Chamber, I have gained invaluable experience in fostering international collaboration and building business networks. You are immediately encouraged to take ownership of your tasks, developing confidence and independence in a dynamic and fast-paced environment. All of this while working alongside a brilliant team, sharing the same goal of promoting the Swedish brand in the UK. Contributing to an organisation driving innovation and cross-border connections, is truly a privilege!"
