How I did 7 internships, 3 campus ambassador programs, and got published twice in 3 years!- Part II
I know, I know. It's been ages since Part I came out.
But can I make the cliched promise that all top-notch filmmakers make? It's going to be worth it!
So without making you wait any longer, let's talk about Campus Ambassador Programs!
If you’re someone in college reading this right now, I am sure you know what I am talking about. Campus ambassador programs are all the rage at the moment and to be honest, why shouldn’t they be? They are every college student’s wet dream.
For the uninitiated, a Campus Ambassador or a Student Ambassador Program is a program wherein a student represents a brand, company, or organization on their campus. What do students get in return, you ask?
Skills, skills, and some more skills! ( And also goodies but SKILLSSS)
Through a campus ambassador program, a student gets equipped with leadership skills, team-building skills, public speaking skills, marketing skills, and the list goes on.
So if I have to talk about myself, I was lucky enough to do 3 of them! (Still trying my luck in a couple as long as I am still a student!)
The first ever student ambassador program that I cracked was the Internshala Student Program (ISP11) by Internshala.
Internshala Student Program gave me the perfect opportunity to show my skill set, promote Internshala on my college campus and meet new people. During this program, I encouraged a lot of students and got them to enroll to Internshala and kick-start their careers. I promoted Internshala as a brand and endorsed the educational/professional training programs offered by their platform.
The second program that I cracked was the Campus Hero initiative by GirlScript Bangalore!
I hosted my first ever webinar on “Getting Started with Git and GitHub” for my college- Mount Carmel. Its safe to say it went well and was a great experience!
I also made several friends across universities in Bangalore which is something I really cherish.
The third and most important student program that quite literally changed my life is the Microsoft Learn Student Ambassador Program! It has been over a year for me in the program and every day is transformatory. So far in this program I have-
Achieved the Alpha milestone within the first month as an ambassador.
Achieved the Beta milestone.
Conducted 5 workshops.
Helped 5 students during the ambassador application process.
Got selected to attend Microsoft Build 2021 as a part of the virtual audience.
Impacted over 100 attendees.
Completed learn paths on Microsoft Learn and attended webinars organized by Microsoft.
Interacted and networked with professionals working at Microsoft.
Working on starting a publication on “Diversity and Inclusivity” with another ambassador.
Got selected to attend Microsoft Ignite 2021 as a part of the virtual audience.
Working on starting a Club at my Master’s university.
On a daily basis, you’d find me talking about the program to anyone and everyone! And I could talk about this all day. So that’s exactly why I will write another very detailed but interesting article on my experience as an ambassador!
Before I conclude this article, here are some tips I would like to share with you-
Apply to Student Ambassador Programs of companies that resonate with you.
Don’t just apply to it for the benefits but with a passion to learn.
Be your authentic self while applying.
Be confident in your present skills and be open to upskilling as and when required.
Be prepared to have a lot of fun!
