Are you a local business looking to inject fresh energy and innovative ideas into your team this summer? The University of Bradford’s Summer Internship Programme offers a unique opportunity to tap into the talent pool of bright, ambitious undergraduate students, while providing them with invaluable real-world experience.
Why Partner with Us?
At the University of Bradford, we understand the demands of running a successful business. That’s why we’ve designed a comprehensive, stress-free internship programme that benefits both you and our students. Here’s how:
- Access to Emerging Talent: Gain access to motivated and skilled year 1 and 2 undergraduates eager to apply their knowledge and contribute to your organisation. These students bring fresh perspectives and a hunger to learn, offering valuable insights and support.
- Cost-Effective Talent Solution: Discover new skills and ideas without the long-term commitment of a full-time hire. Our programme offers a flexible and cost-effective way to address short-term project needs or explore new areas of development.
- Streamlined Management: We handle the entire internship process, from student recruitment and matching to payroll administration. This allows you to focus on your core business while we take care of the logistics.
- Give Back to the Community: Invest in the future of our region by providing valuable work experience to local students. Help them develop essential skills, build their professional networks, and gain a competitive edge in the job market.
- Potential for Future Recruitment: The internship programme provides an excellent opportunity to identify and nurture potential future employees. You can assess student performance firsthand and build relationships with promising individuals.
