As autumn arrives with its crisp air and vibrant changing colors, it’s the perfect moment to welcome new opportunities… and maybe a new internship experience. If you are exploring where to take your next step, discovering what sets Panasonic apart could be exactly what you need. Here are five essential things that will make you fall in love with Panasonic this season.
You are Not “Just an Intern”
From day one, interns at Panasonic are treated as contributors, not temporary staff. “I was included in team meetings, cross-functional discussions, and given access to the same platforms as full-time employees,” says Dhrithi Venkatesh, an IT Procurement intern. “These experiences not only made me feel supported but encouraged me to contribute confidently, knowing my perspective was valued.” This level of inclusion builds trust and accountability, making the experience not just about the work, but about feeling like you belong.
Mentorship Is More Than Guidance, It’s Partnership
Interns are paired with mentors who help them navigate both the technical and cultural aspects of their roles. Venkatesh credits her mentor, Palak Raval, for creating a welcoming environment. “She’s been the person I could reach out to with any question, big or small, and consistently took the time to explain processes clearly.”
As a mentor, Raval didn’t just teach the “how,” she explained the “why,” helping Venkatesh understand how her work fit into the team’s larger goals. Venkatesh’s advice to future interns? “Ask as many questions as possible. It helps you learn faster and shows your mentor that you're eager to grow.”
Your Work Does Matter
Interns at Panasonic don’t just observe, they build. Venkatesh took the initiative to redesign her team’s SharePoint site to improve accessibility and organization. “The updated site allowed not only my team but also other departments to quickly locate resources and collaborate more effectively,” she explains.
This kind of work shows how even small improvements can ripple across an organization. Interns at Panasonic are trusted with real responsibilities that support broader goals, and the impact is tangible.
