The Sheffield Internship Scheme
New support for businesses interested in recruiting a University of Sheffield student.
Funded by Sheffield City Council, the Sheffield Internship Scheme is aimed at businesses and organisations who are interested in hosting a current University of Sheffield undergraduate student to work on a project based placement.
This scheme is a great way for your organisation to benefit from the up to date skills and knowledge that a student can offer with the added incentive of 100% funding to cover the cost of hosting the student!
What does it involve?
- 100 hours commitment to host a student intern in your organisation
- Providing a project based internship that the student is able to complete in 100 hours
- Hosting the student for the duration of the project
What type of projects are we looking for?
- Projects that are accessible to students of any degree discipline
- Non vocational projects, for example market research, data analysing, website/IT improvement, developing a business plan
- A piece of work that can be completed within 100 hours
- Some degree specific projects may be funded, please contact the Student Placement Coordinator to discuss this further
What support would I receive?
- Free advertising carried out by the University
- A student keen to gain valuable experience
- A bursary paid to the student from funding provided by Sheffield City Council
Timescale
Student Internships can commence anytime now - internships must be completed by 31 March 2012. Students must complete 100 hours in total – a maximum of 15 hours per week. Project funding is available on a first come, first serve basis so once all 50 internships have been allocated the scheme will close to further applicants.
