Eight recent graduates join SEO Traffic Lab for a two week intensive internship

SEO Traffic Lab hosted eight recent graduates for a two week, intensive mini-internship. With over eighty applications, narrowing it down to the top eight was incredibly difficult.

The “Mini-Internship” offered a fantastic opportunity for graduates to gain real-world marketing experience at a Google Premier Partner Agency. At the end of the internship – at least two of the graduates are to be offered a job on the Graduate Fast Track Program.

During the two weeks, graduates shadowed account managers, attended workshops, and worked on individual and group projects. This included sessions on crisis management, Facebook Ads, SEO and much more, each session was hosted by an in-house specialist.

Each intern was given autonomy in their learning and time dedicated to study, as the stretch goal of the internship was to take the recognised Google qualification exams. That as a Google Premier Partner Agency, the whole team must pass on a yearly basis.

The aim of the internship was to allow the eight recent graduates to get a realistic understanding of what working in an agency involves as well as how to manage client accounts in practice.

The internship had a heavy focus on Paid Media, both Search and Social as this area of the business has grown exponentially in the last six months. The prospective roles within the business will be working on Paid Media predominately and will follow a “fast-track” to help the individual progress to become an account manager within two years.

Richard Hill, CEO & Founder, SEO Traffic Lab said:

“This was the first year that we have hosted a “mini-internship” I feel sympathy for recent graduates as the current climate is very difficult following the pandemic. However, I was greatly aware of the incredible candidates out there and wanted to open up the opportunity. For the last three years we have hired individuals through our Graduate Fast Track scheme. This is where we hire recent graduates with the plan of them achieving account management within two years.

One of the most exciting elements of the SEO Traffic Lab mini-internship is that the agency will be offering at least two of the interns a place on their 2020 Graduate Scheme Program – so keep your eyes peeled for further announcements on the new starters at SEO Traffic Lab.
