"I think the internship programme offers a wonderful opportunity to graduates, bridging between University and working life. It provides you with an insight into the working world and trains you not only in the skills relevant to the role you are doing but also in how to get a job afterwards. So it’s a really good grounding for a future career."

"This programme has given me a fantastic opportunity to begin my career. Before I began my placement I felt as though it was almost impossible to get an opportunity to use my skills in a work environment. I feel this is a rare and forward-thinking programme because it gives graduates the chance to prove themselves in the job market in a way that very few other graduate jobs and programmes do."

"It is an excellent opportunity to develop new skills relevant to graduate career opportunities and also allows participants the chance to reflect on their own abilities, training needs and job seeking skills."

"I have already recommended it to a friend who is graduating next year."

"It has been a very good experience for me, giving me the opportunity to gain a solid block of experience. The internships do need to be 6 months long, at least, to give the advantage of a useful period of work which employers will recognise as being long enough to be useful."

"Excellent scheme providing a vital stepping stone towards future employment."
