INTERNSHIP AT H-FARM INNOVATION
We study just a few steps away from the biggest innovation hub in Europe. Don’t miss the opportunity to immerse yourself in that world.
Hi! My name is Beatrice La Fauci Belponer and I just completed a month long internship at H-Farm Innovation. It was a mind blowing experience that I encourage all of you to try!
What is H-Farm Innovation?
H-Farm Innovation one of H-Farm’s main branches. Its speciality is being a 360 degree consultancy company that offers all types of services to all types of companies. From Pfizer to Dior, H-Farm Innovation offers services to all.
When I stepped into their building what shocked me was the variety of employees inside. They are the definition of a truly diverse work environment. As my mentor told me on the first day: “here you can find people that studied the art history to finance”. As a toured the building, I was introduced to designers that were working on redesigning web platforms for major companies and marketing experts that were analysing certain markets for their clients. All I can say is that it’s very hard to not find a task that might interest you.
But H-Farm Innovation does not stop there. One of the projects that I personally think is the most interesting is their Maize platform. Maize is a global newsroom that encapsulates H-Farm’s prospecting on current global issues. They have both a magazine and an online platform.
Their magazine is published every year and it takes on a different theme every year. For example, this year’s theme is Turning Points. Many freelance journalists and activists analyse this year’s turning points. If journalism, graphic design, and global issues are 3 topics that interest you, Maize holds the perfect experience for you.
Instead, the online platform called: Maize Plus innovative online learning platform featuring a variety of innovation related content for managers, professionals, and teams to develop an innovation-driven mindset. Working with the project manager for this platform, you can learn many different things from “Ways to Think more Creatively” to Virtual Reality courses.
What will YOU do if you choose to do it?
Every experience will be unique but I can tell you bow my internship was organised. I went over to H-Farm Innovation every day after school for 2 hours. They signed me up on their attendance platform called Wethod. There, employees would involve me in their projects by “booking me on that platform”. I started by working on Maize.Plus editing the courses that were not yet published. Then, I worked on a project for Zurich insurance. My team worked on identifying the startups in Italy that Zurich could work with for a project.
This is my experience but I truly can’t imagine all the other projects you could get involved in!
Not only does an internship look good on your CV, but it gives you a taste of the real job environment. This experience helped me figure out what I want to study at university.
