A Different Approach

Skills first. Network second. Applications third.

Most students apply too late, too broadly and without the foundations that make an application stand out. The students who secure the placements they want have built relevant skills, developed a visible professional presence and — in many cases — already know someone inside the organisation before they apply.

That is not luck. It is preparation. And it starts much earlier than most students think.

5 Areas
Before you apply

"The students who secure the placements they want are not just better on paper. They arrive already known — because they started building the right relationships long before the application opened."

The Programme

Structured preparation.
Real guidance.

Your mentor works with you across the full process — from building the right foundations to making the most of the placement itself.

Professional Profile LinkedIn and CV built for the internship market specifically
Sector Research Target organisations mapped and prioritised by fit and opportunity

The Process

How Internships works

Four stages — from where you are now to where you want to be.

Month 1–2
01
Foundations
Skills built, LinkedIn refined and your professional presence prepared before a single application is sent.
Month 2–4
02
Target & Network
Target sectors identified, key contacts mapped and first professional relationships built inside your target organisations.
Month 3–5
03
Apply
Applications prepared and submitted with mentor review — CVs, cover letters and interview coaching for every stage.
During Placement
04
Make the Most of It
Your mentor guides you through the placement itself — how to perform, build relationships and convert it into something lasting.
