Hands-on help for projects

"Working with Essex Interns has always been a pleasure. They simplify the process so that you can focus on finding the most talented applicants. The internship programme has been integral to the growth of our business. We will continue to offer opportunities through Essex Interns as we know the impact that interns can have."

"Essex Interns give small organisations like Signals access to incredible talent, which lifts the quality of our work. It has been a pleasure to work with Essex Interns, and when circumstances allow we’re keen to bring more interns to work with Signals."

"The communication from Essex Interns has been fantastic. They kept in contact with how the interview process went and provided guidance which showed there was support if needed. The benefits of having interns in the business are huge. This has certainly been the case with Hiren as she has brought diversity and a fresh way of thinking. This has been a really positive experience that we would repeat." 

“I heard about the programme through a friend of mine who ran a copy-writing business alone, but when I saw him he had about five employees, and his business was growing rapidly…For smaller companies looking to grow but aren’t exactly sure about how to do that, this programme is extremely beneficial. A client of mine also got involved and took on an Essex Intern.”

“SVFP has a positive experience with interns overall. They bring a level of enthusiasm and a fresh perspective to the team. Most interns have a can do attitude and are willing to get involved in different projects which helps to reduce staff’s workload.”

“Essex Interns has a pool of intelligent and hardworking students and recent graduates who are looking for experience in their chosen career. I’d recommend Essex Interns to an employer as it is an efficient way to gain extra resource into your organisation, and at the same time you are helping a young person take their first steps onto the career ladder. It is a win-win situation!”

“The Essex Interns who have worked with the National Literacy Trust have been universally bright, hardworking and keen to both do and learn. They are a fantastic way to add capacity to a team, bring an outside perspective and, if you’re lucky, help you find a great new member of the team.”

“James has managed to swiftly bring his own style to the businesses he has written about. He’s been professional from the outset and is very much a valued member of the team. He continues to add to the marketing outputs and consistently exceeds expectations.  We have previously employed interns from the University of Essex and found them to be excellent employees, ready and keen to learn about business, and always bringing a positive dynamic to the team”.

“We were a very small organisation when we first approached Essex Interns a few years ago and were looking for people with relevant skill sets to help us and also to provide work experience for them.  Other employers should definitely consider Essex Interns as there is a real pool of talent at the University. There are lots of students in degrees who would fit nicely in the type of jobs employers are looking to fill.”
