Run time

1 minute, 54 seconds

As members of a vastly expanding industry, it is our job to empower other problem-solvers and pioneers who will one day become key change-drivers leading the way to a brighter future.

Norstella has always been committed to championing new ideas that come from diverse pools of talent, which is why we are thrilled to host our second class of interns this summer. We invited 27 young professionals from the US and UK to join our team and experience the impact we have in the life sciences industry.

This year’s program also gives interns the opportunity to explore a wider range of sectors. Whether it be in legal documentation, data analytics, or news and insights, our interns will get the early exposure of working across departments, mirroring a stakeholder environment that they will likely be encountering in the future.

We pride ourselves on not only providing guidance, but also a unique experience that reflects the true reality of a day’s work in a B2B setting within life sciences. Our global teams help them navigate the workplace, learn new communication, technology, and leadership skills, as well as collaborate with other like-minded individuals, encouraging them to grow their networks with the guidance of a colleague outside of their department through our Navigator Program.

We also know that this program is just as much of a learning experience for us as it is for our interns. They introduce our company to new perspectives and skills that translate into meaningful improvements to our workflows and team dynamics.

What I love about our internship program the most is how we communicate and demonstrate our mission-driven approach to business. By emphasizing our mission of improving patients’ lives in everything we do, we show our interns the rewarding nature of working in this industry. And in parallel, we influence these innovators to get behind our values and pursue a career in this complex, eye-opening field.

Norstella serves as a foundation for future leaders in life sciences, and I am confident that we will reach new heights with another year of eager interns. As always, I am excited about what we will achieve through initiatives such as this one that not only make our company better but also the lives of patients.

I think this is a really exciting organization for these students to join. These are individuals who clearly have a passion for what we do and our mission. Our mission of bringing pipeline to patient and I think it’s a really relatable mission. Whether it’s for good news or not, everyone has had a situation in their life that they can understand what Norstella delivers back to our clients. This program will give them an opportunity to learn side by side from really great leaders who have been in their shoes before and give them the key skills and expertise to be successful in whatever they choose to do after the internship program.

I’m really excited for our leaders who are hosting these interns to share what they’re passionate about in the organization, teach these individuals life skills, professional skills, use some lessons learned from where maybe they failed on something. How do they teach others on how to be successful and not make those same mistakes? Most of all, I’m really excited for our leaders to learn from these interns. They all come from very different backgrounds, different universities, and they bring a lot to the table. I think it’s going to be a two-way street filled with learning and fun and opportunity for all involved. That being said, Norstella welcomes our intern class of 2024.
