2020 was undoubtedly the worst year ever to be a student. This year, the UK press continues to report, almost daily, about the on-going challenges graduates face and how they will struggle to find a job in the post-covid jobs market.

Indeed, the latest UK monthly unemployment figures show young people and graduates have been hardest hit by the economic fallout from the pandemic. Figures show, more than half of the people who lost their employment, were under 25. They represent a group that is not protected by the furlough scheme and over the last year, it would seem, many have found themselves falling through a gap, unable to get onto a graduate scheme or secure an internship.

We have had fantastic outcomes as a result of providing opportunities to interns and take great care to ensure our intern programmes are set up in an inclusive and structured way. One of our Senior Consultants worked with us as an intern for a year, prior to joining us immediately upon graduation.

Not only did our company benefit from the energy and new perspective brought to us but we were able to offer a career to someone that we knew, trusted and who knew and trusted us. We haven't looked back. 

We currently have an intern programme running in APAC and have employed interns in both Hong Kong and Singapore. Both are adding immediate value and are learning first-hand about business in an incredibly complex market.

“As a second-year student trying to figure out what I want to do in the future, I like talking to Investment Banking Analysts to learn more about their experiences and what they like/don't like about their job. I really like the work I do at Stanton House - there isn't really a dull moment. I love the culture; I ask for help when I'm not too sure about something and feel really supported. The favourite thing I'm doing is the cryptocurrency research for an insight paper I'm working on. I am really enjoying learning about this new area and I'm hoping to interview some people in the industry soon.” Celanie Peng, Student at the University of California

“There’s are lots of great things about working as an intern for Stanton House. First is the open working culture. I love how I am able to freely share my thoughts and opinions to my colleagues on certain work-related matters. This has helped to facilitate greater communication within the team as well as promote effective learning for me. Second is the flat hierarchy. I am given autonomy by my manager in the decision-making process. This has allowed me to gain a greater understanding of the business through active participation. And finally, there’s plenty of goal setting. I am able to discuss my goals with my manager openly. This is important to me in terms of helping progress my career.” Joel Chan, Student at Singapore Management University

We look for individuals with exceptional people skills, who care passionately about the customer experience and who’s behaviours and ways of working align with our core values of Integrity, Energy and Ambition. A hard work ethos is also essential!

We bring our values into everything that we do, and these values paired with our inclusive culture, dedication to learning and collaborative environment make Stanton House a fantastic place to work.

We provide exceptional training, guidance, support and access to a prestigious network of industry experts - we see the importance of investing in our staff and you will be surrounded by colleagues that have been in your shoes.
