What do our graduate interns of 2023 have to say
It has been a great experience; I will highly recommend other graduates as it helps to develop your skill set and gain valuable experience.
This is a fantastic chance to build valuable skills and explore roles that could be part of your long-term career plan. It might even open doors to opportunities aligned with your future goals.
The Graduate Internship Programme is full of opportunity. I felt consistently well supported, and it was clear that supervisors in my specific department valued the work I was doing. I feel so much more confident now in professional environments and I am looking forward to building on this experience in future job applications. Thank you!
The Graduate Internship Programme was a great opportunity to learn and gain practical experience. The tasks were well-structured, and the support from supervisors was really helpful throughout. Overall, I appreciated the chance to develop my skills and work on real-world projects, and I believe this experience has been valuable for my future career.
Having no prior experience, I applied to the Graduate Internship Programme and got an opportunity to experience working life. I learnt how to work in a business-based environment and was able to use my own personal skills and aspects of what I've learnt at the University of Leicester to support the marketing needs of the company I was assigned to. I really enjoyed taking part in the programme and would highly recommend it to any future students applying.
