Our Interns Share About Mentorship at Gartner

Our internship program provides interns with a variety of experiences along with the support needed to help them succeed. Part of their support system is their managers and mentors who serve as points of contact throughout the internship to answer questions during their day-to-day activities. More importantly, they offer guidance and advice to ensure that interns are set up for success to grow personally and professionally over the course of their internship. To learn more about the impact of our mentors and managers, we asked some of our interns to share their thoughts on the support that they’ve received. Check out what they had to say below. 

"My manager and team have been incredibly invested in my development since day one. They created a space where I felt comfortable asking questions, practicing calls, and learning from real-time feedback. Whether it was shadowing client conversations or getting one-on-one coaching, I always felt like they were rooting for me. This level of support has accelerated my growth and made this experience much more meaningful." - Emma H., Conference Attendee Sales Intern, North America

"From day one, I was welcomed as a member of the team. My manager and mentor have gone above and beyond to tailor the internship experience to my goals, helping me build the skills that matter most to me." - Grace M., Sales Intern, EMEA

"My team team actively supported my learning and development by readily answering my questions, maintaining an open-door policy, and encouraging me to participate in projects that aligned with my interests. My manager offered valuable feedback and guidance throughout my internship, enabling me to successfully achieve my goals and accomplish assigned tasks." - Srushti B., Research Intern, North America

"My team has been incredibly helpful in my learning and development. I asked questions constantly, and my team would always answer honestly and in a way that truly helped me learn. My mentor has been especially helpful in this process. She has really taken me under her wing and taught me what it means to be a successful account executive and how to attain the skills necessary to thrive." - Jake H. Sales Intern, North America

"From the very beginning, my manager and mentor made it very clear that they were invested in my growth. They regularly invited me into key discussions, gave me space to lead parts of projects, and offered constructive feedback that supported my learning and development. What stood out to me most was their willingness to treat me like a full contributor by asking for my input, challenging my thinking, and encouraging me to explore topics that aligned with my strengths. The level of trust and support my manager and mentor had for me made a huge difference in both my confidence and my learning curve." - Dan P., Research Intern, North America

"My team creates an environment where learning is a constant and encouragement never stops. From refining my prospecting cadence to joining calls with c-level executives, they always give me the space to grow. Whether it’s the regional VP, my manager, or my mentor, I have felt empowered and supported every step of the way." - Raegan H., Sales Intern, North America
