Get real-life, hands-on industry experience to access amazing employability outcomes. Start an internship today.
Now more than ever, the employability gap that UK graduates face is massive. We're on a mission to help solve the career development crisis and after extensive research, we've found the answer: Internships. Industry experience is the most valuable and effective way for graduates like you to obtain meaningful, career-related employment and expand your professional horizons.
We know that a professional internship provides hands-on experience, builds professional networks, and facilitates the first important step into employment. It empowers graduates like yourself to expand your skillsets, professional network, and career horizons – at no cost to those who are eligible. We know this because we have been doing this successfully for years in Australia and are now replicating our model around the globe from places such as Africa and now, Britain.
Successfully executing on such a grand vision has only been possible with the application of smart technology. Our cutting-edge software, InternMatch, makes it easy to onboard and match interns with a wide range of placement opportunities.
We vet every host company that comes into our ecosystem to ensure that every match is compliant and monitored for quality and outcomes.
And thanks to the University of Surrey and Mandela Legacy Foundation, these internships will be of no cost to eligible applicants. Interns accepted into the program, will be paid.
