"Anglia Ruskin's Internship Programme offers companies based in Cambridgeshire and Essex the opportunity to work with a high-calibre graduate or penultimate-year student on a placement for up to 12 weeks. Our Internship Programme allows companies to expand their workforce for special projects or short-term assignments, without the long-term commitment.

"The highly-trained and motivated interns can help with a wide variety of projects, such as setting up IT systems and websites, writing marketing and business plans, or designing company literature, and are likely to be much more cost-effective than hiring a temp.

"The scheme helps undergraduates and graduates gain relevant business skills and experience to improve their employability, and can ultimately help them into long-term graduate-level employment. It also helps to ensure more talented young people remain in the region after graduation, which is of enormous benefit to the local economy."
