Graduate Internships

BACKGROUND

Graduate Internships were created as a response to recession and graduate employment issues.

They're a collaborative bid with all of the East Midlands Universities careers services, where each institution will manage it's own project but will be coordinated by De Montfort University Careers Service.

WHICH GRADUATES ARE ELIGIBLE?

The scheme is only for graduates of 2008, 2009, and 2010

WHAT DOES THE INTERNSHIP SCHEME MEAN FOR EMPLOYERS?

If you business qualifies for an internship we can offer:

£1500 to help subsidies graduate internships (that’s £1500 per graduate intern should a company have more than one opportunity)

We will help with recruitment by targeting those graduates/ final year students that have expressed an interest in an internship in their industrial sector.

We will collect the CVs of those students and chase the students for these.

We will promote the vacancy via website, in faculty, and mailing lists

Fresh ideas injected into businesses from recent graduates

An opportunity to trial what a graduate can do for their business with minimal risk

WHAT ARE THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE INTERNSHIP?

The only requirements are that:

The graduate is paid at least minimum wage

The graduate is carrying out work that is deemed to be of ‘graduate’ level

The internship should last for 3-6 months (flexible approach)

HOW WILL IT WORK?

If employers have a project/ opportunity for a graduate intern we would need them to firstly complete the vacancy pro form
We will then send this through mailing list and on website
Applicants will send CV to Opportunities team
CV’s will be sent to employers to trigger their normal recruitment procedures
Once in selected, a contract will need to be signed by ourselves and the employers stating the length of the internship and the employers contribution
We would expect employers to at least match fund the internship
We will then be in a position to transfer the money to the employer once they invoice us for the £1500 – this will probably happen in two instalments
It is anticipated that we will send details of the internship including start date etc to the graduate
The graduate will be paid and subject to the employers terms and conditions of employment

Checks

Prior to promoting the internship, we will have to visit the employers and run through a ‘Health and Safety’ tick sheet – covering Equal Opportunities, Public Liability Insurance etc.
