  • We’re thrilled to share a glowing testimonial from Vatsal, who joined us over the summer for #Azurriworkexperience 🌟 Here’s what Vatsal had to say about his experience: “Seeking work experience in a structured and stimulating environment, I found an ideal opportunity with the Azzurri Group. The program offered valuable insights across various departments, including Marketing, IT, and Finance, while also helping me to enhance my soft skills, such as communication and teamwork. Through this experience, I gained a deeper understanding of the complexities involved in operating a hospitality investment platform. One of the key takeaways from this program was the invaluable advice I received from professionals on improving my CV. With their guidance, I was able to better present both my academic and extracurricular achievements. Although learning and development were central to the placement, we were also encouraged to have fun and be ourselves, where some highlights of the week included lively games of table football and an engaging pizza-making session during the Italian Education segment. Overall, this program provided me with a comprehensive view of the crucial elements within a business structure. The knowledge and experience I gained from the Azzurri Group will be invaluable, regardless of the career path I choose to pursue. I would highly recommend this work experience program to any future candidates looking to gain meaningful insights and practical skills in a supportive and dynamic environment. Thank you again for the great week!” #internshipsatAzzurri #careersatAzzurri

    This past week I had the privilege of participating in an amazing week-long work experience opportunity at Azzurri Group. From day one we were greeted with a warm welcome, an introduction and an itinerary for the week, which was packed with insightful sessions across different departments, fun activities such as pizza-making and team-building exercises and valuable networking opportunities. Together with my 6 other peers, I got to see the real day-to-day office experience. We were offered plenty of support and guidance from Johanna Keith, Deniz Kotan and many other team members in the office. As someone with a strong interest in Marketing, I was thrilled that the Azzurri Group team made sure I spoke to multiple professionals in the Marketing department, giving me valuable insights into the industry, various roles and plenty of advice regarding my own career journey. The generosity of the Azzurri Group team extended to providing lunch, drinks all day, and a couple of surprises along the way, which made the experience even more enjoyable. I am so grateful to everyone at Azzurri Group for their guidance and support. For anyone looking to gain some hands-on experience, I highly recommend looking into what Azzurri Group has to offer. I am looking forward to keeping in touch with all the amazing people I have met and applying all the knowledge I’ve gained as I move forward in my career.

We recently joined their team of volunteers for the day, to support their full agenda; organizing donations for the morning and distributing in the afternoon.
