We have lift-off 🚀
We didn’t think this day would come. Our babies are flying the nest. Congratulations and THANK YOU to our wonderful cohort of interns in London, who wrap up their Launchpad programme this evening. From our Guardians of the Interns, a.k.a. HR:
Today we say farewell to our 14 amazing Launchpad Interns who have been with us for the last eight weeks. They have spent their time here working on different shows, learning about each department and developing their independent projects relating to their area of interest.
We’d also like to say a big thank you to all our Mentors for your time and effort supporting your interns over the last eight weeks.
Wishing all the interns the best of luck in the future!
Round of applause, everybody 👏
And to the mentors 👏
