Wanted: passionate people with a startup mind-set and a creative approach.
Each year we invite innovative, ambitious, and determined individuals on our 8-10 week summer internship programme.
We’ll welcome you as a full contributor, just like any other member of the team. As you apply your skills, you’ll gain experience in areas of interest to you. Not only that, you’ll get an inside view of what we do, why we do it, and the people that make FWD a great place to work.
An idea of your working day
Things move fast round here. These are just some of the ways in which you’ll spend your time.
Support in the development of ideas and strategies for new digital initiatives
Collaborate with team members and stakeholders on how to improve processes and maximise our efficiency
Jumping in on adhoc duties and responsibilities when they arise
Hear from a recent intern
Glen
Intern, Summer 2020, FWD Group
"As an FWD intern, I was mentored by an experienced and caring manager who showed me the ropes of FWD’s Agency business and helped to unlock my potential. I was challenged by a variety of projects that tested my digital skills and business knowledge, and I was shown new perspectives in problem-solving. I’ve also had the opportunity to help people with special needs through FWD's collaboration with Special Olympics Singapore, and I’ve even been fast-tracked onto the company’s Digital Graduate Programme 2021."
What we're looking for
The following are just some of the qualities that define our people. The question is: do any of them sound like you?
You have some of your best ideas in uncertain or ambiguous situations
You thrive in a feedback environment (it’s how we all grow, and learn)
You have a passion for digital that extends beyond the classroom
You’re an early adopter, with a constant eye on new trends as they’re happening
You’re a natural collaborator. You’re the first to support your team – and you’re not afraid to ask for help, or a second pair of eyes
A simple application process
Submit your CV alongside a note that tells us in no more than 250 words: 1) how you consider yourself to be digitally savvy 2) something innovative you have done, and 3) why you’d like to join FWD.
If you’re shortlisted, you’ll receive a phone call from a member of our team, who will get to know you better over an informal chat.
Provided both parties are still interested, you’ll then be invited to a face to face or virtual interview with one of our team managers, designed to assess your technical and behavioural skills, as well as give you the opportunity to ask questions of your own.
Successful candidates will then be offered a place on the FWD summer internship programme.
