Internships / Wired Sussex

Not strictly suitable for all of you - but Wired Sussex are a really good resource in digital design - and they collate a number of WE and internships - this is from their latest email.

You should all be starting to look at what happens after you graduate - and internships are a really good way to get into the industry and find your feet - so start making contacts while you are still here and register with as many sites and agencies as you can.

As you might know, Wired Sussex has run the Sussex Internship Programme over the last 2 years, along with the University of Sussex.  We have 6 remaining placements left to fill in the next few weeks - we really need to get these positions filled otherwise the funding due to go to these graduates will be wasted.  I wonder if I could ask for some of your help in getting details out to some of your lists/networks as soon as possible?

In brief, the internships are 4 weeks long and successful applicants will receive invaluable experience, training and financial support (minimum wage for the duration of the placement.   Currently the % of graduates offered full-time employment by the company they interned with since the scheme started stands at around 60%.  The deadline to apply for these positions is next Friday 19 November.



To be eligible, applicants must have either graduated with a Bachelor's or Master's degree from a university or affiliated college in East Sussex or West Sussex in 2008, 2009 or 2010 or graduated with a Bachelor's or Master's degree from any other UK university in 2008, 2009 or 2010 AND have a permanent address in East Sussex or West Sussex.
