Securing an Industrial Psychology internship can be challenging, but it offers emerging professionals a valuable opportunity to apply their theoretical knowledge to practice. As a recent Master’s graduate, I experienced feelings of fear and apprehension during the application process but was thrilled to secure an internship with Omnicor. Upon arrival, I was warmly welcomed and introduced to the Organisational Development team, who provided me with an immersive experience of Omnicor’s products and day-to-day operations. In just two months, I have been exposed to the Employee Engagement and Employee Transition Surveys, conducted research, analysed data, and planned projects.
Through this experience, I have gained valuable skills and learned about the importance of psychology in the workplace. My time at Omnicor so far has been a rewarding and eye-opening journey, and I look forward to continuing to enhance my understanding of psychology in the workplace. It’s been remarkable to see how psychology can be applied to create a more conducive and favourable work environment for employees.
