"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!"

“A day at the Business Services department is filled with a variety of different assignments. I have a lot of contact with representatives from different, most often Swedish, companies asking for help with their presence on the UK market. When we receive an enquiry, I conduct research on companies, sectors or people relevant for the enquiry. The Business Services department offers a range of services including company matchmaking, partner searches and operational support. Project management within our offered services, from planning to execution, is therefore part of my daily tasks.”

"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."

“My time at the Swedish Chamber gave me work experience to remember. The fact that I got to be involved in the activities of this very honourable organisation, gave me valuable experience from an international environment. I had the pleasure to meet inspiring people and develop my network, learn about organisations and companies of competence and passion, and develop my understanding of the international business relations of Sweden and the UK, like no school book ever could have done.”

"During my internship I developed skills in how to act and communicate in international business settings. I learned to recognise that organisations within the same network can be very diverse and have different needs and reasons for being a part of the network. I also learned to understand differences and similarities in Swedish and British business culture. I have learned the importance of building strong and mutually beneficial relationships with other people and that business is just as much about connecting with people as it is about numbers and solving mathematical formulas.”

"As an intern at the Swedish Chamber of Commerce you are immediately involved in the business, get to take responsibility and do meaningful tasks as a natural member of the team. You are continuously challenged, expected to deliver and get to meet interesting people and work with fantastic colleagues. My time at the Chamber was an invaluable experience, I grew as a person and also had a lot of fun."

"Interning at the Chamber was one of the most memorable experiences that I have ever had. Not only did I develop skills vital to succeed in a professional setting, learn the ins and outs of international business and extend my network, but I also learned to truly appreciate the excitement of working closely with an amazing team to achieve a common goal. It did not hurt that it was in London - the vibrant world center of business."
