Long Term Internships for Recent Graduates
Spend 3 to 12 months working in your field in London, New York or Singapore, or 2 to 12 months remotely. It is a full career introduction before your first graduate job, and your internship is guaranteed or your deposit comes back in full.
Short or Long
Is Long Term Right for You?
If you have finished your degree and want real responsibility before your first graduate job, a longer internship gives you time to learn it all and gives employers a reason to trust you with proper work.
Only have a summer break? A short program is a better fit.
