Internships and placements

We are able to assist you in recruiting undergraduates or graduates from 4 weeks - 12 months periods. We offer two packages to help you with your recruitment needs.

Package one: advertising only

Advertise your position free of charge via our vacancy service. You can use this as few or as many times as necessary. Students can see internship opportunities on the system much in the same way as they would use an online jobs board.
