Perfect stepping stone towards launching an international career

I only have positive things to share about my year at the Chamber. I especially enjoyed the responsibilities that came with the Scholar role, that I was encouraged to take initiatives early on, to lead my own projects and to come up with new solutions or approaches. You become a tight-knit team at the office, which is great as you always have someone to explore London with.

Over the course of the year I have gained a valuable network of business professionals in the Swedish-British community in the UK. I feel incredibly grateful to have had this opportunity at the Chamber, and I see it as a perfect stepping stone towards launching an international career.

Kick start your international career

Working a year at the Swedish Chamber of Commerce for the UK has really been an unforgettable journey. I’ve had the pleasure of working in a dynamic organisation, meeting people from all over the Swedish-British business community while working together with an amazing team.

Already from day one, you are given a lot of responsibility to lead your own projects, come up with new and creative solutions as well as implementing your own ideas. One thing that I truly appreciated with working at the Chamber was the continuous aspiration to striving towards improving all the processes and services at hand. I would recommend anyone who is interested in growing both professionally and personally to apply for either an internship or a scholarship at the Chamber. It is really a fantastic way to kick start your international career.

Gain invaluable business experience

Being a part of the Swedish Chamber of Commerce for the UK (SCC) has without a doubt been my greatest professional adventure. What made me thrive at the Chamber was the great combination of freedom and support where I gained great experience from taking lead on events and projects at the same time as I always felt supported by the Chamber team.

What strikes me the most when looking back at the year at the SCC is all the people, businesses and places I have come to know in the UK. I would highly recommend the SCC to anyone who is looking to broaden their international network and gain invaluable business experience while working together with an incredibly ambitious team.
