Work Experience That Makes a Difference

At Inntel, we believe that the best way to learn is by doing. That’s why we’re committed to providing real, hands-on work experience that gives students and young professionals a meaningful insight into the workplace.

For many, stepping into the world of work can be daunting—but at Inntel, we aim to make it exciting. Whether it’s exploring different departments, learning from experienced professionals, or working on live projects, our work experience placements are designed to develop skills, build confidence, and open doors to future opportunities.

As part of National Careers Week, we’re celebrating the incredible individuals who have completed work experience with us and sharing how it has shaped their career journeys. From marketing and business development to meetings and events, their experiences have given them a first-hand look at the fast-paced and dynamic world of corporate travel and event management.

Here’s what Freya, Ellie, and Amelia had to say about their time at Inntel:

Freya – From Intern to Team Member

“My experience with Inntel has been incredibly rewarding. During my 8-week internship in the marketing team over summer, I had the opportunity to learn the fundamentals of the department while getting hands-on experience with creative projects, including website and social media content. The team was supportive and encouraged me to develop my skills, which made the transition to a permanent role feel seamless. I’ve really enjoyed growing within the company and look forward to contributing even more as I continue my journey with Inntel.”

Freya’s story is a great example of how work experience can lead to long-term opportunities. What started as an internship quickly turned into a career, proving that gaining practical skills and industry knowledge can be the perfect stepping stone to a future role.

Ellie – Exploring Different Departments

“I really enjoyed my work experience at Inntel. From the moment I arrived, I was made to feel welcome by all the staff. I had the opportunity to tour the different departments and meet the teams, which gave me a great insight into how the company operates.

I particularly enjoyed working in the Billback department with Lucy and Becca—they made my experience both engaging and enjoyable. I would definitely recommend Inntel for work experience, as there are a variety of departments to explore, and you can learn so much from each of them.”

For Ellie, her work experience provided a broad understanding of how different areas of the business work together. From finance to operations, her week at Inntel helped her see the bigger picture and gain valuable insights into corporate travel management.

Amelia – Hands-On Learning and Wellbeing at Work

“I enjoyed my work experience at Inntel. I particularly enjoyed learning how the Meetings and Events department worked, and I enjoyed sitting with Kilianne and learning about the Business Development Team.

There was lots of variation during the week with plenty to learn, and the teams were so helpful and patient. The highlight of my day was getting to spend time in the wellness room during my breaks, which is like a little spa, with aromatherapy oils burning and soft relaxing music.”

Amelia’s experience highlights the importance of both professional development and employee wellbeing. At Inntel, we believe in creating a workplace that not only supports career growth but also prioritises the wellbeing of our people.
