Episode #23: Launching FY25 with the Power of Internships

Christine Martindale

In Episode 23 of the Power Chats podcast, host Christine Martindale, Internal Communications Manager at Mitsubishi Power, kicks off a special episode celebrating both Internship Awareness Month and the start of Fiscal Year 2025. Talia Bougayou-Campos, Manager of Talent Development, and Arturo Perez, Talent Program Analyst, joined her in the studio as her guests. What better way to launch the new fiscal year than by spotlighting something that plays a pivotal role in shaping the future of our workforce—the IGNITE Internship Program.

This episode dives into the value of internship programs, not just as learning opportunities for students, but as strategic pathways to developing future talent through real-world experience, skills development, and lasting career connections. It also includes helpful tips for employees interested in bringing an intern onto their team or enhancing how they work with current interns.

With our next cohort of interns starting in August, now is the time to act. If you’re interested in hosting an intern, be sure to connect with your HR Business Partner and submit your request by the June 2nd deadline.
