What are internships and work
placements?
http://www.careerplayer.com/tips-and-advice/general-advice/internships/
Why consider
a placement?
Career options are not always
as clear as a magic sorting hat!
How will you know
which opportunity is
right for you?
You will face
challenges with
the application
process and in
the role itself
These challenges will
allow you to grow and
develop employability
skills for future
success
The Bigger picture…
The Office for National Statistics report on
graduate recruitment shows the vast
increase in the size of the graduate
population.
An increase of more than 430,000 graduates
in the past 10 years from 1,063,000 in 2001
to 1,501,000 in 2011, which means a much
more competitive jobs market for graduates
than in the past.
Source: http://www.independent.co.uk/student/career-planning/why-internships-and-placements-are-a-popular-route-to-employment-7579681.html
The latest High Fliers Research into the
Graduate Market 2012 reveals that a
third of this year's entry-level positions
will be filled by graduates who have
already worked for the organisation
during an internship or placement.
This is borne out by evidence from companies
such as Centrica whose 10-week summer
internship scheme for predominantly
penultimate year students has grown from
11 places in 2006 to 75 in 2010.
Last year, Centrica filled 38% of their
graduate intake from this internship pool.
Graduates today face…
 A competitive jobs market
 Job roles which may require a degree or higher level qualification +
 Higher UCAS tariff points +
 Evidence of personal and professional development i.e. extra curricular activities +
 Demonstrable work experience or commercial awareness +
 Greater emphasis on “personal branding or “brand you” i.e. self awareness of what you have to
offer an employer in terms of :
(knowledge, experience and skills)
How will you
stand
out from the
crowd?
Benefits of work experience

Where to look for a Undergraduate Placement 2014
An employer’s perspective
“Placements can be invaluable to a student,
for many it will be their first time in a work
place, putting their academic skills into
practice.
…a year placement helps to galvanize their
learning and professional skills which will
put them in good stead for their final year.”
Director at Cityzen and Architectural Technologist
