"I interned at Seibo Japan in Summer 2019. It was a great opportunity to gain hands-on experience of marketing in the non-profit sector- especially using digital tools. I was involved in fun projects including a Rugby World Cup promotion with another intern. The experience enhanced my digital skills and proficiency in graphic design software. Because Seibo Japan (a charity) works closely with Mobell I also got to see how a charity and business can work together. These experiences and skills I have built helped me to secure roles after I returned to the UK."
- Jioh Kim (Korean student in UK University)
"I interned at a Mobell Group enterprise, and was surprised at how much I learned about charity and the behind the scenes of such an organization. The internship taught me a lot about different cultures and how to work together with others from different backgrounds. It also helped me to learn many of the organizational and practical skills that have been so necessary in not only my work life, but my personal life as well! I feel like it was truly a life changing experience and have recommended the experience to just about everyone I know!"
- R. Tanner G (USA Intern, Autumn 2019)
"My internship at Mobal and Seibo Japan gave me the chance to try things for the first time that, up until then, I had only learnt about in my degree. That kind of practical experience at a real business with a real purpose was so valuable, and helped me land my first full-time job afterwards. The new perspectives that I gained about charity and being open-minded to different cultures are ones I will remember forever."
- Meagan Kupke (Australian University Student, Summer 2019)
"Throughout my undergraduate degree I was seeking ways to enrich my experience and bolster my employability. Mobell granted me this, allowing me to apply the skills I learnt at university in an international setting. Mobell has given me confidence in my profession and an international perspective on how business operates. This experience separated me from other commerce graduates, opening pathways that have accelerated my career."
- Chris Border (Australian University Student, Spring 2019)
