An internship is a great way of gaining a valuable insight into a career that interests you and developing the skills employers are looking for in new recruits. Many employers offer graduate positions to interns that have already worked for them so it could lead to a job offer too! The employers visiting us today offer a range of internship opportunities including summer placements, discovery weeks, insight days and residential courses. The career areas represented include sales, marketing and brand management, finance, computing and IT, accounting and education. Don’t forget to visit the Nottingham Internship Scheme stand to find out about placements exclusively for you and, if you need support to take up a work placement, visit the Internship Grant stand to see if you are eligible for financial assistance. You can learn a lot from the organisations today about what they look for in students and graduates and about their recruitment processes. You may even find out about opportunities you never knew existed.

Our team are here to help you understand and make the most of the graduate jobs market during your time at University and once you graduate. . Make sure you leave with a copy of our Career events guide so that you can see what’s happening this term. And finally, keep in touch. You can book an appointment to see us atwww.nottingham.ac.uk/careers/appointments

You can also ask our experts a question on Facebook or Twitter. If you have a burning question, it’s a great way to get a quick answer.

We hope you enjoy the day!
