Embracing the Future of Work: Virtual Internships

An introduction to our inspiring journey to bring virtual work experience opportunities to all UK students.

At online interns we embarked on an inspiring journey to bring virtual work experience opportunities to all UK students. We recognised that in person internships may be prohibitive for those who did not have the support and backing that more privileged students had. This would then put them at a distinct disadvantage when it came to pursuing job opportunities. We began with a few students and now have a regular group of students joining the programme, and the results have been nothing short of amazing!

Our online interns have not just bridged the physical gap; they've enriched the host companies they work with with fresh perspectives and innovative ideas. Through their dedication, adaptability, and creativity, they've shown us that distance is no barrier to collaboration and learning.

In these virtual internships, we've discovered the power of digital connection, fostering teamwork, and nurturing talent from diverse corners of the world. Their energy has sparked new initiatives, challenged existing norms, and redefined the way they and the organisation they work with approach problem-solving.

As we reflect on this journey, we're grateful to have been a part of our interns' journey bridging the gap between education and employment, and shortening the gap to make these opportunities more inclusive.

If you would like to work with one of our online interns, we'd love to hear from you. Do get in touch!
