Liverpool Interns:

Liverpool Interns is an award-winning programme that looks to support Small-Medium sized businesses (SMEs are companies with less than 250 employees) become more competitive, by taking advantage of the skills and knowledge students develop through their degree disciplines

At the same time, the programme provides students (and recent graduates) with:

  • the opportunity to develop practical ‘real world experience’

Our Liverpool Interns Programme enables employers to benefit from a 100 hours internship/projects delivered by a current student (or recent graduate), fully funded through a Bursary - ideal for short-term growth-boosting projects!
