Essex Interns
Our Internships Team is here to help you find paid practical work experience
with local, national and even international employers. We can help you find
internships:
- during your studies; and
- for up to three years after you graduate.
Internships can be part-time whilst you study, or full-time outside of
term-time and on graduation, and can vary in length from around six weeks to up
to 12 months.
All of our internships are paid, so you will also earn while you work.
Join the scheme
You can join the scheme by filling in a
registration form (.doc)
and emailing it with a copy of your CV to
internships@essex.ac.uk.
Once you have joined, if we receive a new vacancy
that you may be interested in we will email the details
to you. It is then up to you to decide if you would like
to apply. We cannot promise that we will find
opportunities in your specific field – but we do work
hard to encourage employers to offer internships in a
broad spectrum of subjects.
We also advertise all of our internships on Facebook,
and there may be opportunities listed that don’t get
sent out to you. Make sure you ‘like’ our Facebook and
get in contact with us if you see an internship that you
would like more information about:
www.facebook.com/internshipsessex. Essex Interns is
also on Twitter:

The value of internships
Undertaking an internship can help you build your confidence, develop
workplace skills, apply your knowledge in a practical workplace setting, prove
yourself to an employer, and can substantially boost your employment prospects.
Completing an internship even after you graduate can give you the edge in the
job market, and allow you to try out different career options.
“My experience with Coram was amazing! I have worked with real
professionals and was given real work. I was given the
opportunity to make suggestions to ongoing projects and to
implement some of my ideas. It definitely felt like a real job
with responsibilities and duties, but also with a fun and
supportive office environment.”
