Whether you’re already set on the sector or are looking to explore it a little more, top employers like Nestlé, Google and Dyson will be there to help you decide. 

The programme has been completely re-designed and enhanced to provide you with even more connections, opportunities and insights this year.

As we’re reaching the end of the pandemic and employers are hiring the same if not more graduates than before 2020 - now is the time to ensure you have the sector-focused skills and knowledge that top employers will be looking for this autumn.

A brand new experience for 2022

You may have taken part in Internship Experience UK last year, or this may be a completely new opportunity for you. Either way, this year’s experience has been re-designed to ensure everyone can make the most of it. 

There are different skills sessions and a brand new work sample - all created to help you get ahead in this competitive sector. There are also more employers to network with and ask your questions to, helping you stand out in future interviews. Here’s what to expect:

  • Hear from inspiring keynote speaker, Tim Campbell - winner of The Apprentice and co-founder of the Bright Ideas Trust, a social enterprise to help young people from disadvantaged backgrounds start their own businesses. 
  • Connect with leading employers across the business, operations & marketing sectors, including Nestlé, BT, British Airways and more
  • Take part in a work sample that you can talk about in interviews and will help you understand the type of work you’d be doing as a graduate, intern or placement student in these sectors

Sessions you’ll get

Over the course of three days, you’ll be able to meet and hear from a number of leading organisations and develop a variety of key skills for your future applications, interviews and roles.

  • Learn how to demonstrate transferable skills with ICAEW
  • Become a pro at preparing for interviews with PwC
  • Perfect your presentation skills with WTW
  • Gain top-tier CV and application advice from Vodafone

Plus, hear from influential leaders like Tahmid Chowdhury (Forbes 30 under 30) and Elspeth Coates Gibson (Chief Commercial Officer, Appointedd) on topical subjects, including commercial awareness and networking.

There will also be plenty of opportunities to spend time on your work sample submission, which will be briefed to you on day two. You’ll be set a task and have opportunities to ask questions before you present your work to a peer and gain feedback.
