Help! Has anyone got in the IEA Internship please?

Hi, thank you for clicking into this post. I wish to apply for the IEA’s FUTURE THOUGHT LEADERS’ INTERNSHIP PROGRAMME: SIXTH FORM and they require a CV and covering letter. I am wondering if anyone who is applying or has got in this internship can briefly tell me a bit what should be written in the CV please? Many thanks!! :>

Hi, I took part in the Sixth Form Internship last year (I think they've rebranded it as the future thought programme, but I'm assuming it's the same event). In the CV, I had a short personal statement paragraph at the top about myself, then key skills and examples of experiences where I had developed these skills, my actual work experience and then education/grades. I also added a few academic activities/awards at the end - hope this helps :smile:

I Applied just today, it looks pretty good. I just uploaded my standard CV and explained why I wanted to attend in my cover letter. I applied last year and got rejected, but I hadn't started year 12 then.

I pretty much just said why I am passionate for economics, what I have done to show my interest in economics and how I would benefit from the internship.
