What is a graduate internship?
Graduate placements and internships are offered by a wide variety of organisations, covering a vast range of opportunities.
The terms ‘placement’ and ‘internship’ usually mean the same thing. However, some are paid and others are unpaid.
Every placement will be different, depending on the needs of the particular employer. But typically, you could expect to be given a specific piece of work, or a list of duties. Most placements last for a few months.
Internships and placements can give you the chance to:
- get valuable ‘hands-on’ work experience
- prove yourself to an employer
- build your confidence
- make contacts in your chosen industry
- see whether a particular role or organisation is right for you
- boost your future employment prospects
Internships are designed to give you a taste of working for an employer. You won’t necessarily be expected to have work experience already. However, some placements may require graduates with specific experience - so check the role description before you apply.
There’s no guarantee that a placement will lead to a job. However, if a job does become available you’ll be in an excellent position to be considered.
