I truly enjoyed my time at Neverland, where I gained invaluable industry experience and met amazing people. When I started my journey, I was unsure of where I fit or what truly excited me. Thanks to the guidance of Flying Academy, I found my passion in Strategy. Since completing the internship, I’ve been building my analytical skills, staying updated on industry trends, and learning more about strategy and research.
Remmi
The Flying Academy internship was such a great opportunity for me. What stood out the most was that I wasn’t just given jobs for the sake of it, I got to take on real responsibilities and see the 'real deal', whether that was being on shoots, exploring post-production or truly getting stuck in. Everyone was incredibly accommodating and supportive and I felt like a genuine part of the team. I had so much fun!
