The internship, or the opportunity to develop ourselves both personally and professionally
The lack of enough opportunities before young Bulgarian professionals may be well known, but the majority of businesses in the private sector do little to none effort to provide chances for professional development. Only a fifth of the employers in Bulgaria have their own internship programmes, which shows that their efforts in finding and training young staff are strictly planned. This puts Bulgarian students in an unpleasant situation, making most of them choose fun in their spare time and put off the start of their career development. That way they turn out to be with insufficient amount of experience, making job-hunting a lot harder for them.
There are, however, young people, who are motivated enough to overcome obstacles and to gain new skills, taking early advantage of the slowly growing professional opportunities. With its summer internship programme, Venera Cosmetics offers career chances to a few ambitious students from Plovdiv, helping them put their skills into action in areas such as marketing, IT and graphic design.
As soon as summer started, the company welcomed its first interns – Vasil Slavchev, Dimitrina Toleva and Ivan Abadzhiev from Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science at University of Plovdiv. The young IT specialists had the chance to work on some of the upcoming innovative projects by Venera Cosmetics, teaming up with marketing and graphic design students.
The marketing division has its fresh dose of interns’ enthusiasm as well. Bozhidar Yankov and Daniela Stamenova are working on the high-quality online representation of Venera Cosmetics. They are constantly create new content for the blog and social media, while making time to take part in the growth of the company’s online store (fragrances.bg).
Venera Cosmetics believes that young people should take their future in their own hands, and to grow both personally and professionally. But in order to do that, they have to be provided with certain opportunities. Moreover, the company sees the importance behind human resources and their development. With its internship program Venera Cosmetics hopes to give a chance to the ambitious Bulgarian students and to help them show and expand their personal and work-related skills.
