WHO CC has been actively involved in supporting Imperial Masters students in their journey of skills development for career growth.
The Centre has welcomed selected interns each year to offer the opportunity to gain insights into the work in Public Health. Interns are actively involved into events and projects run by the Centre into community outreach and health promotion campaigns as well as research work. they gain insight and opportunity to develop their presentation skills and receive meaningful feedback to foster professional growth.
Here is what the last cohort of interns though of the experience:
“This internship was a great experience overall. Not only did it help me develop my hard skills such as academic writing, but it also helped me acquire new skills while constantly learning about new health-related topics. Some tasks really felt meaningful, and being able to produce a tangible output was really appreciated. For anyone interested in continuous learning and skills development, keeping up to date with ongoing public health research and working in a supportive team during your studies at Imperial College London, the WHOCC is a great place to be!”

“My internship was both enriching and transformative. I wrote health promotion articles for the WHOCC blog and helped design disease-specific leaflets for non-English speakers. One of the highlights of my internship was designing and leading a digital health session, which enhanced my presentation skills and enabled me to communicate essential public health information to a diverse audience. Overall, this experience deepened my passion for health promotion and equipped me with valuable skills to positively impact my communication.”
