Internships that lead to meaningful careers
At Rentokil Terminix, we believe an internship is more than just a summer job. It’s a chance for young professionals to discover their potential and define their career path early on. To support this pivotal moment in their career, we’re proud to offer a Summer Internship Program, where students have real-world responsibilities, challenging projects, and direct access to specialized teams across our many brands.
When Bella joined our 2025 Summer Internship Program, she began working on projects that extended beyond her own career development. Working within the Learning & Development (L&D) team at Steritech, she discovered the purpose behind her work and how it empowers colleagues in the field. Now, in her full-time role, she continues to make an impact through her designs that strengthen confidence and inspire growth. Follow along to learn more about her unique experience.
Can you describe your specific role during your internship with the L&D team at Steritech?
This summer, I worked as an intern in the Learning and Development department. I designed online training courses to support Steritech Specialists in maintaining service quality in the field. I also created employee materials, such as a flow guide template, to ensure consistency across company projects.
Can you tell us how the work you did during your internship became part of your current day-to-day responsibilities?
During my internship, I applied my instructional design skills including demonstrating creativity, collaborating with team members, managing projects, communicating with colleagues across departments, and strengthening my technical skills. These are the same skills I continue to use in my day-to-day work as a full-time employee.
As a full-time Instructional Designer supporting Field Operations for Steritech, what is your primary focus? What does your typical day look like now versus during your internship?
The primary focus of my job is to support Specialists in better understanding client expectations so they can deliver high-quality service in the field. During my internship, I designed courses to help Specialists improve their service performance and daily administrative tasks. Now, as a full-time Instructional Designer, I work on more complex projects that train Specialists on the latest client-specific policies. This role requires a deeper understanding of the business and operational flows.
What part of your role are you most proud of, and what makes it meaningful to you?
I love my job because I get to learn something new every day. I’m always excited to explore new topics and use my creativity to turn them into engaging, learner-friendly courses. It’s like solving a puzzle. I feel a deep sense of satisfaction once it’s complete and happy to support the food-safety in real life.
Your journey is a perfect example of an internship leading directly into a highly specialized, full-time role. What advice do you have for current interns who want to see their internship project become their full-time career?
Take ownership of your projects, do your best work, and don’t be afraid to ask questions.
