How is The Internship different from

other work experience programmes?

Don't just take our word for it.

Here's what others are saying about The Internship.

How it works

Experience different departments

Give your students the experience of interning for a fictional modern startup! They'll get a taste of different departments, including HR, Product, Marketing, Sales, and Operations. These areas will be demystified, giving students information about what’s out there for them.

Discover new passions

The Internship will help your students discover their areas of strength, and show them that they're all creative in their own way. In a traditional work placement, a lot of time is often spent observing. With The Internship, students will get stuck in with activities right away!

Access from anywhere

The Internship is accessible to anyone with an internet connection. Your students can join the programme from wherever they are, regardless of their background. By opening the doors to anyone with a desire to learn, The Internship is a powerful vehicle for social mobility.

An interactive programme that boosts collaboration

We’ll handle the entire process from setup to delivery while consulting with you and your team. The only technology required is a computer or a tablet with an internet connection.

Over the course of up to four days, students will work in groups and learn how to develop their creativity, innovative thinking, and problem-solving abilities.

'The Internship is a brilliant opportunity. Not only to get a meaningful work experience, to hit those Gatsby Benchmarks, and also to hit the numbers in college.'
