What's new for 2024?

More focused

2024 has four streams, to give you a more indepth overview of the sectors and access to more employers and content within each stream. 

Bespoke panels

Attend bespoke panels designed to give our members a unique perspective of the world of work from relatable firm representatives. This will help you gain insights into the industry and tips on how you can navigate your early career successfully.

Networking for VIP Top 50

At the end of the programme, engaged attendees who participated in all four days of Internship Experience UK will be nominated as the Top 50 within their stream and be invited to attend an exclusive networking event with PwC. This is a unique opportunity to get quality time with a leading employer and stand out from the crowd. 

Engaging workshops with audience

Throughout the four days, IEUK will be hosting various workshops to boost engagement and collaboration. These workshops are tailored to encourage you to work with other attendees and by yourself to solve real challenges. You'll get the chance to participate in an exercise set by Deloitte, PwC and ICAEW and receive feedback on your work. 

Meet Bright Network Alums

Hear directly from recent grads about the world of work. Find out how they went about securing their first role – what to expect, where to look and how to present yourself. Additionally, learn how they’ve achieved success early on and how they’ve handled challenges.
