Sheffield City Council Internship Scheme
Support for businesses interested in recruiting a University of Sheffield student.
Following on from the success of the Sheffield Internship Scheme pilot project, we are pleased to announce that Sheffield City Council will be providing funding for another 50 internships.
Aimed at businesses and organisations who are interested in hosting a current University of Sheffield undergraduate, the Sheffield Internship Scheme provides you with the opportunity to offer a project based internship for one of our students.
This scheme is a great way for your organisation to benefit from the up to date skills and knowledge that a student can offer with the added incentive of 100% funding to cover the cost of hosting the student!
What does it involve?
- 100 hours commitment to host a student intern in your organisation
- Providing a project based internship that the student is able to complete in 100 hours
- Hosting the student for the duration of the project
- Your company being based in the Sheffield city region
What type of projects are we looking for?
- Projects that are accessible to students of any degree discipline
- Non vocational projects, for example market research, data analysing, website improvements, developing a business plan
- A piece of work that can be completed within 100 hours
- Projects that are based within the work place
- Some degree specific projects may be funded, please contact the Student Placement Coordinator to discuss this further
What support would I receive?
- Free advertising carried out by the University
- A student keen to gain valuable experience
- A bursary paid to the student from funding provided by Sheffield City Council
Timescale
Student internships can commence any time after your project has been approved and advertised - the start date will be negotiated between yourself and the successful intern. Students must complete 100 hours in total – a maximum of 15 hours per week. Project funding is available on a first come, first serve basis so once all 50 internships have been allocated the scheme will close to further applicants.
