How We Select Students – Skills, Strengths & Potential
Because this is an entry‑level opportunity, we focus on motivation and potential, not experience.
You will be assessed on:
- Curiosity and willingness to learn
- Commitment to participating fully
- Personal strengths (e.g., communication, teamwork, creativity)
- Interest in business, technology, people, or related fields
You will need to submit
A personal statement (300–400 words) explaining:
- Why you want to join
- How the programme fits your interests
- Any career paths you’re considering
We will obtain
A letter of recommendation from a teacher or school representative.
- Written screening (personal statement + recommendation)
Process
- Short 30-minute Microsoft teams' video interview with Safa Iqbal (Employee experience specialist) and then a 30-minute video interview final with Clara Moretti-Parker (Head of Talent)
This approach helps us select students who truly want to be here and will get the most value from the experience.
