HR Summer Intern Testimonial
“I loved my time at BGF. The collaborative and supportive culture was immediately apparent and as interns we were fully welcomed into the company straight away. The internship gave me invaluable experience, not only practical skills and training sessions but also the opportunity to connect with many different people from all levels of the company. My exposure to a wide variety of experiences allowed me to expand both my knowledge of the investment industry as a whole, as well as the role of the HR department in aiding the success of the business. Throughout the programme we were encouraged to take the initiative and shape our own experiences to gain the most benefit during our time here. Our ESG focused intern project gave us a chance to work collaboratively as a cohort and evaluate how ESG considerations will shape the future success of investments. It was interesting to consider the trends which will impact the workforce we are entering.”
