What do our former interns say?

My internship at the AHK in Estonia exceeded my expectations. In six months, I learnt a lot about the culture and worked independently in PR and social media. I particularly enjoyed creatively designing banners with Canva and writing LinkedIn posts. I was also able to contribute to the newsletter and magazine and keep the website up to date. I gained knowledge of MailChimp, TYPO3 and Ibexa and took part in many events, which made my work varied. My colleagues were helpful and friendly, which quickly made me feel part of the team. The opportunity to travel privately and experience the three offices in three countries was my personal highlight. I can recommend the internship. Many thanks to everyone!

Intern PR & Social Media in Tallinn | February - August 2024
My cross-divisional internship in Riga was an extremely enriching experience that was characterised by a multitude of impressions. I was able to gain in-depth insights into the processes of everyday office life and the diverse activities of the AHK. Thanks to the varied tasks, which ranged from event management to customer support and office assistance, my day-to-day work was always exciting and instructive. Taking part in numerous events not only enabled me to travel to other Baltic countries, but also to gain a comprehensive insight into Latvian corporate culture. It was particularly valuable for me to meet many inspiring people who enriched my professional and personal development.
