Carshalton College student Ethan has secured an exciting work experience opportunity as a marketing intern with Winkworth Estate Agents, gaining real-world insight into the fast-paced world of digital media and content creation.
The opportunity arose when Winkworth reached out to the College looking to offer a student hands-on industry experience. Ethan, a dedicated student who is studying a Level 3 Diploma in Creative Media Production & Technology, applied and was selected for the role, which involved filming and editing short-form videos for various social media platforms.
During his placement, Ethan worked on impactful social media campaigns and received valuable mentorship in digital content strategy and marketing. The experience not only helped him sharpen his technical skills but also allowed him to expand his portfolio with professional-quality video content.
April Heath from Winkworth praised Ethan’s professionalism and contribution:
“Ethan has been great to work with. He was very professional and responsive from the start—right from the initial meeting to discuss working together, through to the completion of the tasks. He fully understood each task given to him, used his initiative, and completed the work in a timely manner. He has been so helpful that he is now working with me on a freelance basis. Thank you, Ethan, and to Dipa, our Employability contact, for all your help. It's been great working with the College.”
We are so proud to see our students gaining real-world experience and forging valuable industry connections. This partnership highlights the importance of practical learning opportunities in preparing students for successful creative careers.
